Just to clarify, a forward pass occurs when the player " loses possesion of the ball, and the ball moves in a forward direction. " Therefore, as long as the player regains control of the ball after niftily throwing it over Colins head then no fowl has been commited. If however, the player is touched when the ball is in the air, it counts as a normal touch and it is a roll ball. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzvnexjWJYg for proof. If you watch it carefully, he throws the ball behind the line and catches it after. The ball has therefore gone forward and play is allowed to continue!!!
