I was working a game last Friday night. The WR was bumped off the line and then bumped again about 15 yards downfield before the ball was thrown. The ball was then thrown to that WR which caught the ball and was tackled at the spot. No flag was thrown on the play. The coach insisted that I should have thrown a flag for pass interference. I explained to him that there was no contact after the ball was in the air, therefore there was no pass interference. He disagreed with me saying that it is pass interference since the receiver was bumped more than 5 yards downfield.
Is my interpretation of pass interference correct? Should there have been a flag for illegal contact?
