Lateral or not??

[mcrowder]

First - there's no such thing as a lateral. There are backward passes and forward passes.

Second - if you ask your official to stay even with QB on a play like this, you're asking him to get swept up in the mess when there is a pitch. He should trail, as he did. U needs to help on this call, and I agree with everything Jump said - flag it if you're SURE... if you're not sure, it was legal.
