An illegal forward pass is a foul. The illegal forward passes are:
d: A pass intentionally thrown incomplete to save loss of yardage or to conserve time.
This seems to fit as far as the pass goes. Then I went to NF 3-4-3f
The clock shall start with the snap or when any free kick is touched, other than first touching by K, if the clock was stopped because:.
e: A legal or illegal forward pass is incomplete.
All this seems to indicate starting on the snap. Help me out here guys. What am I missing?

Have to agree this was a violation under 7-5-2d, intentional grounding, five-yards from the spot and loss of down and the clock starts on the snap under 3-4-3e.
In other words A bought a timeout.
Of course, there is probably going to be a timeout while coach A debates that "stupid" call; after all, they do it on Sunday (NFL). |
