Since the touch did not prevent the pass or try i b,c, and d the ball remains live and subsequent action is covered by rule which apply to the sit.
Does anyone have any thoughts on these two rule and thier similarities and different rullings. Is there that big of a difference between a touch and hold is sit4.25.2 option a and b. and 4.44.3 option c and d. I hope you see where i'm comming from |
The difference is B preventing the release or not. If B did prevent the release, held ball. If not, a violation on A.
