Ok, so the receiver shouldn’t gain possession of the disc, but was the contact still a foul?
continued play. In some situations, even if the contact didn’t affect the play, it may have affectedcontinued play, or the ability of the contacted player to continue playing. For example, if the contact caused the receiver to fall down, and then the defender-turned-offensive player took off downfield and the receiver-turned-defensive player couldn’t get up in time to chase after him on defense, the contact affected continued play, and the former receiver could call a foul to stop play and make their opponent come back. In the case described above, the contact seems to have been limited to the receiver’s arms, and therefore is unlikely to have affected that player’s ability to continue playing, and therefore the contact was probably not a foul.
