Very interesting ljudge! What I was thinking was (is) that B wasn't trying to intercept the pass.B in my mind on this play was only trying to prevent an offense completion. In that case (official's judgment) you have illegal block in the back. Over the years I have been in many training sessions that supported this call. Never did anyone bring up your point. I have a feeling that you are correct in your applying 9-3-5b if, in the judgment of the covering official, that is the situation. I don't want to accept it in this forum unless I am 100% sure! I suggest we contact our rules intepretor for finally ruling. I am going to be to busy, as usual, with the cadets and their game schedules tonight at the meeting. Can you do it and let me know.
