Ruling

VERY clearly the 66 roll is premature..end of my discussion on that.

The question of cube action is much more difficult. First of all, what do the rules say about her doubling action? I guess (not sure) that touching the cube and saying "I double" and hitting the clock is good enough? But why not at least push the cube towards her opp?

Anyone who says "Take it" when offered the cube but meaning take the point rather than I am taking the cube is an absolute DUFUS.

Both players mechanics of cube handling were absolutely terrible here!

She should move the cube towards her opp when cubing, preferably by placing it on the board or bar as she's doing it, and he should grab it and pull it towards him if taking. He should say pass or drop if not taking..but shouldn't his actions of not moving his hand towards the cube and trying to hit and center the clock indicate intention to drop the cube.

Common sense must prevail and to me the evidence seems to indicate that he intended to drop the cube. Very difficult to make that ruling and I'd certainly warm him, and also tell both players to improve their cube handling mechanics in the future.
