I have no idea what you're actually advocating, all I know is that it is perfectly possible when there's a pile that the ball can change hands several times and the officials may not be able to see it. In that case, the ball goes to who had it last. That's just football, hold on to the ball! Officials aren't clairvoyant, we can't tell when little Jimmy at the bottom of 15 players has the ball because well...there are 15 players in the way.

Why are we even discussing this?
