If a player cannot come to the ground and still keep the ball, then I do not have a catch. The NF does not have to address this for me to make a call. And I do not think the NF is going to address this because they really do not need to. The NCAA always does a better job to give information on plays and situations. Like I have said before, the NF does a lot of things slowly and if they were on top of many issues, you would not see the many disagreements on how you handle a gimmick offense. This philosophy is easier to explain and easier to be consist on. If I had to judge whether someone had control after they hit the ground, then you might get all kinds of different judgments. I think this philosophy does nothing more than keep us consistent.

Peace
