I realize if the pass is incomplete it would be spotted at the previous spot. I posed the question because to me, it relates directly as to where you spot the ball in the first scenario.
If we rule the pass to be incomplete, it is because there is no "catch" (by rule) on the play originally described until the receiver makes contact with the ground.
If there is no catch until he contacts the ground in the case of the incomplete pass.... it must also be ruled that there is no catch (in the original scenario) until the receiver touches the ground (A's 28 yard line).
Conversely, in the question I asked... if you rule a fumble, it is because it has been ruled that a legal "catch" has been made before the receiver touches the ground (which is not what is written in rule #2) and therefore in the original scenario, it would be logical to mark the ball at A's 30.
