so then Pass Interference is only "HOLDING". Called HOLDING before the ball is thrown and then PASS INTERFERENCE once the ball is thrown?
Actually Jimmy I think I screwed this a bit.
Pass Interference - is after the throw is made
Illegal Contact - before the throw is made
Defensive Holding - is the actual grabbing of the player/uniform before the pass.
difference between IC and DH; IC would be running into, bumping or blocking the receivers route without grabbing the player. That kind of stuff.
I am sure the NFL definition is deeper, but that is how I remember it.
