[QUOTE="Daryl Muellenberg, post: 590176, member: 9708"] The refs are taught to let the play run it's course if there is any doubt as turnovers are automatically reviewed. If they blow the whistle too early then the play is dead, but if they don't blow the whistle they can always reverse the call after review. I am also curious as to the wording of the rule, saying that the defense can not take the ball from a player in contact with the ground. So what happens in the case where a receiver makes a great diving catch and then while lying on his back holds the ball up for the refs to see he has the ball and then a defender snatches the ball out of his hands - without touching him. According to the letter of the rule, the play should be called dead since the player is on the ground. But if the defender hasn't touched him, then technically he isn't down yet, so would they let that play stand as a turnover or would they call the play dead according to the rule? To me, it should be a turnover, but the rule isn't stated that way. [/QUOTE]
