Player running OOB
A little twist.
B3 runs OOB, does not come back in, but as a pass nears the sideline, he jumps, bats the pass down, and lands OOB. I can't be Illegal Participation because he never returned to the field of play during the down. He is still defined as a player because he was one of 22 who started the down. Could he be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for leaving the field of play without authorization to gain an advantage? That is all I can find. |

Hold on, let me get some popcorn.
This was discussed (ad nauseum) a couple of weeks ago. There was a big argument. 170 posts on one site and probably just as many on this site. I'm sure that they will be changing the wording next year on the definition of an OOB player. In the meantime, bring the subject up at your local association meeting and call it the way they tell you to call it. I know how I will call it. I'm pretty sure that I understand the intention of the rules makers. Tweeeeeeet! OOB. Stop the clock. Were going back to the line of scrimmage, adding one to the down marker, and signaling Ready to Play. Coach, I hear you. We are moving on, let it go. (Thought, but not said: Coach, shame on you for waisting the student athelete's time practicing this play) |

My mistake. I meant that an A player went OOB, jumped, and deflected a pass.
I can see an advantage if he see an interception about to happen, goes OOB to get to the play, jumps and deflects the pass. I think I will go with ULC. |

Illini Ref- if you'll utilize the search function here, you can find several discussion threads about this scenario. As it stands for what appeared to be the majority of officials opinions here, BY THE BOOK, this a legal play as there is no definition of inbounds. A minority opinion was that it is a foul but I don't think "ULC" (unsportsmanlike?) was rendered as the method of penalizing it.
I understand both POV on this topic and would hope to a) never actually see it on the field and b) hope the Fed cleans this up-which will probably take 3 years of refining a definition as they work through the Law of Unintended Consequences. |

Speaking for a separate "minority" a much more rational interpretation is that the pass is simply incomplete, having touched a player who had previously established himself as being OOB (Assuming he had previously touched the ground OOB before touching the pass).

The state interpreter is in the same association that I am in and we talked about this play specifically about 3 weeks ago.

Perhaps he should contact our local interpreter, because as of 3 weeks ago we were told something completely different. And if this play was brought up during the state meeting, it failed to make the notes we rcvd.
