I asked at our association meeting, and none of them had any explanation. I don't know if any contacted the WOA. I'm glad the WOA wasn't suggesting some change to the rules.

And since the clinic forces you to repeat each section until you 100% on the quizzes, I had to repeat that section 3 times before I finally got it "right".

Since the preceeding video went on at length about how a player was not a passer on an illegal pass and was afforded no protection, I had a clue to what they were looking for and didn't have to answer it multiple times.

For me it was: 1) Hmm, I must have clicked the wrong one, 2) No, I clicked the right one, why is it wrong? 3) Ok, I think I know what they are getting at.

Then the curiosity of why it was wrong.

WOA is correcting the question today. They will be removing the reference to "retreats behind the LOS" thus the pass will be an illegal pass.
