If a player kicks a pylon before catching a ball how would the SDCFOA tell us to call this? Illegal participation, illegal touching, INC, TD
Keep it simple: INCOMPLETE!
What if a player jumps, catches the ball, kicks the pylon then lands in the end zone, what is the ruling?
Incomplete pass.
Similar play, a player's foot touches the sideline (part of the foot out of bounds) - they jump up and catch the ball and land inbounds. What is the ruling?
Incomplete pass.
Can a timeout be used to allow a player with illegal equipment to return? Or injured player?
