What if the ball comes forward but off the side of the hand? IS THAT A BAD PASS OR A FUMBLE?
[/B][/QUOTE]Rule 4-21 says "a fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a player's grasp". There is no reference to a "flub" in the rules. Wheher a fumble actually occurred or not, as above, is strictly up to the judgement of the calling official. None of us can tell you whether something is actually a fumble or not.That's your call.
If you don't believe in fumbles, then don't call them.
