Partner rules catch, states that just like the ball hitting the front pylon while in player control, the back pylon should be ruled the same.
I know what I think, but I was unable to find a rule reference. Any takers?  |
When his foot hits the front of the pylon, his foot is in bounds in the air, as in the case your partner cites... however... to have a catch you must have a foot in bounds ON THE GROUND. In your situation, he does not. Incomplete.
