Snaqs you did play the game at a competitive level didn't you? Contact on the follow through can change the shot, sometimes. That's what we get paid to judge.

No, the follow through is not part of the try, even though the try is not over.
Personally, I can say from sitting with local varsity refs watching freshman games that if I start calling this sort of contact, I'll be working freshman games exclusively.
I dont understand how that can be

hahahaha you KNOW damned well EVERYbody is watching the flight of the ball in freshman games! lol
