The centre circle is white – meaning the circle include the line of 5cm. If a player steps on a line bounding the area they are in that area – it is no infringement as long as the foot is not OVER the line.
The rule for a centre pass. (8.2.2) – Only one foot must be wholly within the centre circle. The umpire will blow the whistle as soon as the player grounds the foot. If the player then pivots – the centre pass is finished – NOW it can either be footwork if you look closely at the clip.
On Pivot it states…..A movement where the player with the ball swivels either on the heel or on the ball of the landing foot while this maintains contact with the ground.
(It looks like the centre pivots on the heel and the toe – gaining unfair ground.) Footwork!
