Coach JM has it. 9 times out of 10 the answer will be right in the rules themselves.

In this case we have someone considering flagging this for forward handing so we go right to the Rule 2 definition...

Forward handing occurs when the runner releases the ball when the entire ball is beyond the yard line where the runner is positioned.

So the key is where is the ball in relation to the (original) runner when he relases the ball? I've got no flag on your play.
