Re: Uncatchable ball still applies.

Well, i look for any contact between a potential pass reciever and his defender.

If I see contact, that puts one of the two players at a disadvantage, I throw my flag.

If the ball was not catchable, I am relying on one of the other officials to make me aware of this, because if the ball was clearly not catchable we will pick up the flag.
The catchable pass only applies to NCAA games. At the FED level you still can throw the flag. Now you should use common sense and only throw a flag if the ball is thrown to a certain side of the field.

One thing I forgot to mention, my ruling was based on the Canadian rules, which state that a pass must be catchable for PI to be called.
