Auburn-LSU PI non-call
Question for those who saw the LSU-Auburn game or highlights. Pass is thrown but the DB tackles the intended receiver before the ball gets there. Also before the ball gets there, the ball is tipped by another DB. The ruling on the field was since the ball was tipped there is no PI and since the hold happened before the tip, there is no holding so the flag was waved off. I looked up the rules on ncaa.org and that appears to be the correct call. Since the next game I officiate will be my first, what are your thoughts?

It wasn't DPI because the ball was batted away and was uncatchable, not because it was touched by B ending restrictions.

It was DPI all the way. Really wasn't even that close. The BJ makes a great DPI call and got talked in to picking it up. The contact happened before the ball was tipped. I think in that particular play, since the DB that tipped the ball was so close to the other DB that made the contact, touching shouldn't have been an issue.

So, Nickel ... you think this ball was catchable?!?!?!

Pass was not catchable. I no longer think it's DPI.

Then what?
No pass interference huh? Well at a minimum this should be holding don't you think?http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/917/016066628na7.jpg

And what about
What about the call earlier in the game where Jesse Daniels intercepts the ball and they call pass interference? A pass that is intercepted is clearly uncatchable. Let's not forget the Jacob Hester fumble that is ruled an incomplete pass.

So what you are saying is any contact is a foul? If that is what you are saying, you need to do more research as an official. Also holding you would have to actually hold someone. Two players diving and jumping in the air is not quite holding. I saw the replay and I have no problem with the call. The receiver never had a chance at the ball. You have to have a chance to catch the ball to have DPI in NCAA rules.

I'm Sorry
Sorry I didn't realize they were both jumping in the air at the time the foul was committed. Can I get a Pac-10 official in here with an apology?

Seems to me
Seems that without the defenders arm draped around the receiver he could have adjusted to at least have a play on the ball. I am by no means a football official (basketball, and yes I have blown calls), but a play that affects the outcome, was called on the field, but overturned by replay officials seemed odd. I know it happens but in the manner that the officials met, discussed, walked to the sidelines, made the announcement and then overturned. And before anyone asks, yes I have LSU season tickets. I wish this could have been sorted out by traditional means.
