REPLY: Technically, you have an illegal participation foul at the spot where the receiver returned. While the R's heart may have been in the right place, flag or no flag has nothing to do with whether or not the receiver touched the ball. In NCAA rules, if he did touch the ball, it's an illegal touch and the penalty is loss of down at the previous spot (same as if it was an incomplete pass). But in Federation rules, there is no significance attributed to whether or not the receiver touches the pass.
