If the knee of an offensive player carrying the football never touches the ground but the players hand or arm carrying the ball does is the player down?
he can get up and run if he has not been touched yet. then he has to be tackled to be down, not "touched".
The above is true in the NFL...the touch must have caused the fall or happened while the knee or elbow is on the ground.
In college or ANY level below the play ends when the players knee or elbow touches regardless of the reason.

Can there be offensive goaltending?
Yes, offensive goaltending can occur in basketball, though it is less common than defensive goaltending. It happens when an offensive player interferes with the ball while it is in the process of entering the basket or is on its way down toward the hoop. If a player touches the ball while it is in this position, the basket does not count, and a violation is called. This rule helps maintain fair play and ensures that players do not gain an unfair advantage by interfering with the shot.

What are some rules of hockey?
you cant hold the puck (unless your the goaltender)no high sticking (above the waist)no cross checking (hitting them in the numbers)no tripping etc. stuff like that...icing: when the defensive team hits the puck into the offensive teams end from behind the center line and it goes past the offensive teams goal line. If the defensive player touches the puck first, play goes on and if the offensive player touches it first they then call icing which means that they offensive team gets to switch their players but the defensive team does not and they have to bring the puck back to the defensive side and have a face off there.Off-side: when the offensive team is carrying the puck into the opponents zone but a player crosses the blue line before the puck does. They then stop the play and they have a face off.If a player is on a break away and is tripped up by another player on the other team they get a penalty shot.Two line pass: When a player passes the puck from his defending zone to a teammate beyond the red center line.hope that helps:)
