rule ?

If receiver ai controls the ball in b's endzone but prior to touching the ground a1 brushes the uprights, Is it a td or not

[JRutledge]

To complete a catch the player must come down in-bounds or be pushed out of bounds and would have landed if not for the contact with an opponent. Touching the upright would be considered out of bounds, so that would not make it a legal catch. No different than hitting a pylon before touching in-bounds.

In high school if a receiver is pushed out and would have landed in. would that make it a legal catch or not a legal catch???

Did you read the first sentence in my response?

This is a legal catch if the officials judges those two things took place.

Unless he was pushed in the direction he was already going. This is clarified in the case book. See 7.5.2 Situation K scenario c.

CANADIAN RULING:

TD. Our uprights are in the EZ or on the GL.

If this ever happens I want to see the video......

This one comes off the Fed test. I commented that he should quit football and join the basketball team.

No, it's not a TD. A1 is OOB when he touches the goalpost. (I've never seena receiver brush the uprights.)

It's a TD if A1 is not touching the uprights at the moment he touches the ball.

It's a touchdown. It's also Illegal Participation (unless the exceptions noted in previous posts.)

How do you penalize this?

It cannot be both a TD and IP.

Your first claim is not correct: he must catch the ball before going out of bounds, not merely touch it.

It's not IP to carry a live ball out of bounds, so you wouldn't have IP on this play either. If he bumped into the upright first (without being blocked out of bounds) and then came into the endzone to make the catch, that might constitute IP.

IP is a 15 yard penalty enforced from the basic spot under all-but-one. The basic spot on a loose ball play is the previous spot.

If the penalty is declined, it's a TD.

Please stop helping... you're wrong. Twice.

Dude, when he touches the goal post before he touches the ground, he is OOB and the play is over. There is no penalty.

This has more of a chance happening in a lower level game where you have more uprights on the endline.
