REPLY: If the push occurred as the ball got even with the Team A receiver, I would have left the flag in my pocket. Not too much different than a pass thrown to a receiver who has run a hook pattern. Ball passes just over his fingertips. Immediately afterwards, the defender makes a hit on the receiver attempting to break up the pass. Was the pass in flight when the contact occurred? YES. Was the contact prior to any touching of the pass by A or B? YES. Will you call that pass interference? I HOPE NOT.
