Does this make it any different? QB drops back to pass. As he is raising the ball to pass it, but his arm hasn't yet started to move forward, he is hit and turned. He then starts his passing motion but his arm and the ball go backwards. This is a very bang-bang play. Any votes for this as an incomplete pass?

I have had five of these in varsity games in the past three years (lucky me I guess, three more were forward and incomplete) and I have ruled them all fumbles (or backward passes) and of course one coach was not happy. He always says that the arm was moving forward but I always saw the player turned before the arm started moving.
If the arm is moving foward before he loses posession then I am calling it incomplete.
