!!!!!! When cueball ends up in the rack after 14th ball, u don't have ball in hand. Ball must be spotted on the footspot!!!! Perhaps it was wise what he did but the rule is spot on foot spot!!!! NO BALL IN HAND....
That is incorrect, xpatcan1. According to the BCA rules, if the cue ball ends-up in the area of the rack (where you'd normally rack the 14 previously-pocketed balls), and the remaining 15th ball is neither in the rack area nor behind the head string, you *do* get ball in hand behind the head string. See the following link for 14.1 rules, and look at the table found in section 6.7, "Rules of Play" (change the comma in "bca,com" to a period):
Not bad except for you are moving the cue ball for break shots. That takes away the most skill intensive part of straight pool, which is falling onto position for the breaking of the rack.
funny to see how many people posting here do not have a single clue about the game..

He's playing position to the inside of the rack spot so he can take ball in hand behind the line. Its a pretty smart way to play it suits you.

Actually I meant to say "...(change the command in "bca-pool,com" to a period)..." Apologies for the typo, but you get the idea.

dude when the cueball lies inside the rack after 114 balls are ran the rules are that you have to move it...
