View Referee Michelle Maloney profileAnswer provided by Referee Dennis Wickham Yes. The ball is in play on a punt and there has been no infringement of the laws. In theory, a goalkeeper could throw the ball into the opposing ball (assuming the keeper could throw it 80 yards or so.)
Indoor and small field rules limit how far one can kick/throw the ball, but not TLOG.
