REPLY: For NCAA, CKref has it right--the receiver must be wrapped up and carried OOB. Otherwise, the pass is incomplete. For Federation, I suggest that you look at the Federation Case Book p. 13. Look at the note under the title "Catching the Ball." It says that the only way that you can even entertain the idea of a legal catch is if the defender's contact is such that it stops the receiver's forward progress--regardless of whether or not you judge that he would come down inbounds. Then take a look at Play 2.4.1 Situation H which codifies this concept.
