I suppose that this is the the reason you got it wrong, he cant pick off a runner while in contact. You know the correct ruling, but missed the question. No sweat.

I agree, but that is not how I was looking at it. I guess I would have liked it if they said, "While in contact with the rubber." But you can step back legally and try to pick off someone. As you said no sweat. You live and learn.
