I'll take issue with that...
10-3-1 A loose-ball play is action during:
take "b" for example...
b. A legal forward pass
The key word there is DURING. So when the legal forward pass ends- so does the loose-ball play. We now have a running play since after the pass ends (like if the ball is caught) we have "action not included under Article 1" (10-3-2)
I'm not sure what you're getting at, Bob- the loose-ball play does have a defined end.
