Well, I was going right from the definition of handing in
NHFS rules book which states:

"Handing the ball is transferring player possession from
one player to a teammate in such a way that the ball is
still in contact with the first player when it is touched
by the teammate. Handing the ball is not a pass."

In this instance, there really was no "transfer" of player
possession, but a loss of possession in which a lose ball
situtation ensued, therefore it does not not fit the
definition of handing. Additionally, it definitely does not
it the defintion of a forward pass.

Does anyone else buy this argument? I'm scrapping here,
because we had a heated debate about this one this week and
I had very few people in my corner. I'm glad I'm not a
lawyer ... I'd be broke ...
