NF Offensive Pass Interference Restrictions

[BktBallRef]

Has anyone else been told about an interpretation from the Indianapolis NFHS meeting that deletes the words "or last forward pass if more than one" from 7-5-9a? So, the end results would be that restrictions on A players ends when B touches the forward pass.

The rule change is:

Pass interference restrictions end for offensive players, when the defense touches the pass or last forward pass if more than one.


The old rule read:

Pass interference restrictions end for all A players, when B touches the pass, or last pass if more than one.

The phrase you ask about has not been deleted, only change to reflect, as Tom wrote, "forward" pass.
