Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2382385, member: 1764"] Because they didn't make contact with the hands! That's the key point. Issue here is that Reed did touch it with his hands, thus it's a knock on if it goes forward (regardless of what else it comes in contact with, other than an opposition player if it's gone back first). TECHNICALLY under the rule book a situation like I described (player attempts to catch pass, hits hands, goes through hands (backwards) onto chest, bounces forward without again making contact with hand/arm) should be play on. But that's not how it's ever been ruled. Because one of the foundations of the sport is the need for the player in possession to control the ball. So, if player makes hand contact with ball, does not have control of it, and it goes forward, knock on. The only way that's nullified is if an opposition player interferes (and only then if the ball has gone backwards). [/QUOTE]
