I think it would be as easy to make this as much a throw as is a shovel or chest pass as commonly used to make a short forward pass to a receiver in the backfield. It should be very easy to, for instance, face the right sideline and clearly pass the ball forward across the body with the right hand to knock it down with the left. I don't think anyone's current code makes that a fumble, nor do I think any of them make it an illegal/intentionally incomplete/intentionally grounded pass.

I suppose you could get fancy with it by passing it from behind your butt thru your legs to your other hand, but that might be USC for...uh...making an unnecessarily flashy move? Kind of a taunt?
