I do not believe this to be relavent to the converstation.

Why not? Again, I never argued who was right or wrong, but I did ask for some sort of citation (case/rule/interp) and one has not been produced yet. I'm even willing to entertain someone stringing together a few rules to draw a conclusion.

Consider this:
If A1 doesn't have the ball, but jumps into the air and is fouled, then catches a pass from a teammate or a rebound from a missed try and shoots, would you count the goal?

I wouldn't have to b/c I never would have blown my whistle in the first place.
