"As Ed said above, a fumble in such cases where A recovers
the ball would allow them to circumvent the rule. "
... which is what the case sources are telling us. I do not
agree that this is the spirit of the rule, either, but I'd
now be reluctant to throw the flag in this situation in fear
of a coach who may have read these cases or tests.
I just find it funny that NCAA rules are explicit in this
case. The NFL treats it like an illegal forward pass and
the ball is dead. You are also never allowed to hand to a
lineman in the NFL, even backwards.
