I agree it has been consistently called all year. The question is was this correct?
The question becomes when does he no longer have possession of the ball. I am waiting to see teams adjust to this being called this way and run a fake hand off and have the defender plow over or into the offensive player who still has possession.
As for this call, I think it was correct because I do thank the hand off had taken place already. This is evidenced by the Indiana players arm coming up as he makes contact. Intentional absolutely not, but a moving screen, yes.
