Things like fumbles (when exactly does a player lose control) and catches (maintaining control to the ground or making a football move) are great examples.

It wouldn't surprise me if this play did cause the force out rule to change. The NFHS office is less than a mile from where this play took place and I'm sure there are coaches submitting rules change requests. The losing team is an affluent suburb of Indy and it's possible there were NFHS and NCAA staffers with kids on the team.
Wow. As they say, all politics is local!
