NFHS 4-31: A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball
to another player.
From Noah Webster (who used to live right down the street from me):
1) In football, hockey, and other team sports, a transfer of the ball, puck, etc.,
to another player of one's own team, usually at some distance. In American football, the pass is through the air by an act of throwing the ball.
2) To emit or discharge from a bodily part and especially the bowels (which has a lot to do with the rule references, explanation, and validation, behind this caseplay).
