Auburn-LSU PI non-call

[brokerrookie]

Is it just me or could this promote the tackling of receivers with a defender knocking the ball away and this become accepted as it was not catchable? Playing devils advocate here. And still kind of hacked off as you can tell. I am not one of those guys that come here to aggravate a situation, I have been a lurker on the basketball forum for a while refining the trade.

BTW, you can tackle a reciever if the ball is not catchable (while the ball is in the air).

You can give all the angles you like, the pass was not catchable. When a pass is not catchable, short of a personal foul you can make contact with a reciever. Also the only way this could be holding is if the ball was not in the air. The contact took place clearly while the ball is in the air. If the ball was tipped at the LOS, a defender could contact the reciever to prevent them from making the catch. You are just searching for an answer you are not going to get.

Peace

It's just you. The kids are talented but you'd never be able to coach this. Not in a million years.
