Right, but the objection is that he didn't throw the ball because while potential passer A2 wasn't looking in potential receiver A1's direction (it being a good idea of course to "look off the route"), B1 tackled A1, and A2 didn't notice the flag or know what it was for. Someone on the bench could've yelled "free pass" to help, though.
The comeback to that is that even though no ineligibles went downfield, how do we know it was even intended to be a pass play?
