Also remember - it's when the pass if first touched. A couple of years ago, we actually had a spirited disagreement amongst the officials when the ball initially hit the RB behind the LOS, but he didn't catch it. It went up and forward, beyond the LOS, where he DID catch it.
The other thing to remember as a newer official is that it is not the INTENT of the offense that matters, but rather where the ball ACTUALLY is caught (first touched). You'll see a screen pass go across the line every once in a while, and flag it - coach will chew your ear off - "THAT WAS A SCREEN PASS!!!" but if it went across the LOS, IT WASN'T a screen pass.
