Did the rule book editors forget this one?

Its the rule we are discussing on this thread which was brought over from the ezteams discussion 8.7.Q. - I think it clearly and directly applies to this play as written based on the scenario as it was presented (I agree there are a few holes in the scenario .. but I am keying in on the runner was partially to blame for the dropped ball).

Runner partially to blame for drop + crash which overules the OBS = 8.7.Q. at a minimum... could be ejection as well under 8.7.Q. (not USC).

i would definately appreciate it if you would explain to me why you are dismissing 8.7.Q. as applicable to this play. I really do not grasp it and there must be a reason. Sometimes just telling me something without explaining reasoning just bounces off my thick head.

I call a game tonight - and I would call the runner out for INT if I saw this, there is no doubt in my mind.. maybe ejection but for sure - runner is out... so it's important (to me anyway) that I understand why it would not apply.
