In the NFL, that IS a rule. There are several "holding exceptions" and that is one of them. What they really want in the NFL is the flag to be held, and not thrown if that is the case, but if it is already on the ground, pick it up and explain. Now that is not the case in NCAA, so it will be interesting to see if anything is said about that.
