What do you call here

Why, you wonder, would I post a suggestion here on what I think the rule should be? B/c I know there are a lot of smart officials on this board, some of whom do have connections with the Rules Committee,

I think it's fair to say that our lonnnnnnggggg discussions of what should be called when the inbounder fails to step OOB before passing up the floor was part of the impetus that led to the clarification this year stating that this kind of play is definitely a throw-in violation, and not a delay warning, or a do-over.

Wow, that's a long sentence. But the point is, our discussions here sometimes have an indirect, but real, effect on the rulebook.
