[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 526550, member: 13739"] Nope the rule is the same as it ever was. A knock-on occurs after the ball is spilled or knocks into a players hand or arm and then proceeds to either touch the ground or touch another player. The ref can also deem whether a knock on has occurred if a player loses control of the ball but then kicks it before touching the ground. It's important to also give the ref a little slack. They have to make these decisions without the help of slow motion replays. Often the hands aren't far away from the ball, and it may have appeared to the ref that the ball had come off a hand. Ref's might also air on the side of caution, and stop for a knock on in a tight call. [/QUOTE]
