In Response To: ruling on premature cubing (neilkaz)

I agree too. Doesn't the following rule (from ABT Rules 2009) cover the issue:

"4.8 ILLEGAL MOVES. A player may condone his opponent’s illegal play by rolling his dice or turning the cube. Otherwise, he must require the opponent to replay the entire roll legally."

By "B" picking up the cube in order to double, both players have, in effect, agreed to accept the illegal move, and cannot now reconsider. Whether this was done knowingly or unknowingly doesn't make any difference.
