Coaches Propose Changes To Forward Pass Rules
The football rules committee may hear suggestions from the Committee of Twenty led by Lou Little at their February meeting. Coaches push three ideas to curb passing including boosting two incomplete pass penalties, allowing passes from any point behind the scrimmage line, and ruling a defender intercepting a catch from an ineligible receiver as an interception. Little says rules should be simplified and ambiguity reduced.
