DrPete It does look like his foot was down out of bounds while he was passing the ball back to his teammate. I did not catch that at first in real time, only once it was slowed down.

Same. Honestly I don't know how an official can do anything but make his best guess on a play that close.

Would anyone as the Trail (new lead) call that out of bounds if you were certain his foot touched down OOB before he released it? Just curious where people would draw the line between getting it right and respecting your partner's area of coverage

Just curious where people would draw the line between getting it right and respecting your partner's area of coverage It would have to be very obvious. Here is an example. Peace
