That play was routine pre 1965, but the last 30 yrs you get robot coaches telling people to never pitch the ball. We have a guy in our flag football team make the best play I have seen in a long time. It was the last play of the half, I threw a 65 yd bomb, our wr is a volleyball player the guy is about 6'5, he knew not to catch the ball because a defender would grab his flag immediatley, so instead of catching the long pass he did a volleyball back set to another widereceiver about 7 yds behind him for a touchdown, it was one of the best plays I have seen in athletics in a long time.
