If he is hit and his arm is going forward, then it is an incomplete pass. If you judge that the arm was not in a throwing motion when hit and the ball pops out, then you have a fumble. Judgment call pretty much all the way here. But the fact that it might have been a pump fake does not change your ruling. The arm going forward in a throwing motion is all you should judge IMO.
Peace
