It was legal then but had not been widely discussed prior so I think the crew was caught off-guard. Don't recall now haw they ruled.

Team-B retained the ball on the int, but was hit for a 5-yard penalty for an illegal forward pass. A supposedly rules "clarification" was made for the 2002 season, and while some says it was a change, it was not. The play was also put on the NCAA mechanics film that next year as legal play.

I know we discussed this kind of play in 1999 at one of my NCAA chapter meetings and again the following year as it was either a quiz question or something. I do recall debates going both ways. It took an affirmative reply from a former member, then Big East supervisor saying it was a legal play. That was back in 2000.

As I recall you were one of our internet group back in those days that discussed all the crazy things "A88" might do with the ball, including this type of act.

This is one of the classic "trick" plays taught to refs in the world of flag football. I've seen it used once in an intramural game.

It would be nice to know which post you were responding to here. These words seem very out of place, and I have no frame of reference to know what you are trying to say here.
