BTW, just a little insight. The word "lateral" is to a football official, as the words "over the back" are to a basketball official.
Then what is the correct term for what most of us would (incorrectly) call a "lateral"?

Chuck,
Since most of us don't care to talk to football officials, we can call that backward pass a "lateral".
