What makes the end zone the spot of the foul if the pass originated from the field of play? "...reaches out so that the ball is completely outside the goal line [plane] and then throws an illegal forward pass." Were you assuming that between the "reaches out" and the "then", he cocked the ball by bringing part of it back behind the goal line to throw it? That could be, but since the original poster didn't say it, I wouldn't assume it. Still, I think the point of origin of the pass is taken to be the release point, not the start of the passing motion while the ball is still in hand.
