Action immediately after the catch???

[tommy316]

I tried to search for this answer, but couldn't find anything.....

So after a successful pass and catch, does the "receiver" have to move immediately after the catch or can you move other players and then move the "receiver"????

Or does the catch begin that players action and he has to be moved or he is done for the turn?

I just got back into playing and this came up..... I'm of the opinion that the player does not have to move right away.

The catching player does not have to move (or perform Actions) right away;
he can perfom his Actions as normal later (or immediately after the catch, if you want).

Thanks for the reply, with 50 views and no dissenting replies I can assume that this is the norm for most players... Thanks again!

To confirm, Matt is correct.

That's how we play it... as in the rules.
