I'll also e-mail Howard and see what he says.
I didn't say that it related to someone attempting to receive a pass, and neither did the FED afaik. It relates to a defender fouling someone without the ball while the thrower still has the ball OOB, the way that I read it. If the pass was on the way, then the player in-bounds would be involved in the play. This FED POE applies to fouls on players that are not involved in the play.

See my response to Bob.
