Here's more info on the play. We had a "no call" on the play, and as a crew felt comfortable with the "call". The reciever was not forced out of bounds, was not trying to come back in bounds, and the contact was not a personal foul. The game ended without a problem. What started the conversation among the crew was a question to our officials association by the winning coach. The coach asked "There was no DPI since the pass was not catchable, right?" We all feel that there was no foul, but do the rules support this? As stated in a reply, if it is a foul, how do you explain it to the B coach? Which rule applies, or is this just one of those situations not completely covered. As I stated earlier, rule 7 is specific in that a player eligible at the snap remains eligible throughout the down.
