an overview to this thread......

One of the things we frequently hear from "knowledgeable" coaches and fans is:
"You can't pass it to yourself." This is true, but not for the reason that many think.

4-31: A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats, or rolls the ball to another player.

The point is that when a player releases the ball, and then retrieves it himself, whether it is a legal play or not, by definition it is not a pass.
