Can you supply it?
Yes. Rule 4-4-2. "A ball which touches...an official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that individual's location"

Camron - where the heck have you been? I knew you would find the rule reference to back up my contention, just like you always do. However, I think you mean 4-4-4, not 4-4-2. Also, it's nice to know that I am not a wall, although some coaches have told me my head is made of brick.
