I blow and give the ball to the other team... I am thinking I should have reset and given the ball back to the inbounder... |
If he caught it and you saw him catch it...as opposed to fumbling your pass...if he loses control afterwards and ball rolls away it is a violation. Assuming no one around him who knocked it away. Is a casebook play on it. Again, if you know he caught it and had control of it, and your confident it wasn't knocked away by opponent, fact you didnt see why it was rolling doesn't matter. Ideally you would know.
