Someone in another thread made a reference (forget which thread) that seemed to indicate that to have a simultaneous catch that both players must complete the catch at the same time (meaning airborne players hit the ground together). From the comment on page 55 that's not quite true which leads me to think of what would be an extremely difficult ruling to explain to a coach.

A's ball 1st and goal. A1 and B1 both airborne and over the endzone area and near the sideline have the ball in their grasp. A1's feet hit the ground first then B1's feet hit. A1's feet hit in the endzone followed by B1's feet which hit the sideline. Ruling? Based on this revised ruling and comment on page 55 it's an incomplete pass. Seems like a tough sell to me but definitelly the correct call from what I can tell. Anyone disagree?
