I'm with Theisey. The ball hits the pylon, while being held by a player touching inbounds or airborn when last touching inbounds, it's a score.
If it touches the outside of the pylon, where are you placing it? At the .0000001 inch line where is supposedly went OB? That's why it is ruled a TD - you can't place it there.
NCAA 4-2-b. - A ball that touches a pylon is out of bounds behind the goal line.
There's nothing in there about what part of the pylon got touched. There's nothing in there about goal line extended. Just OB behind the goal line. If it got behind the goal line before it was OB, that's a TD.
This try was good.

REPLY: I agree also. The Federation rule is almost identical to the NCAA rule.
