***NCAA Week 4/NFL Week 3 In Game***

When a catch is made by a receiver who comes down with both feet on the ground, the "football move" would be: stretching for a first down, diving out-of-bounds or running with the ball. If the "football move" is accomplished, and the receiver is then hit and the ball comes out, it is ruled a catch and fumble, instead of an incomplete forward pass.

so how much of those moves constitute a football move? The rule is ambiguous.
 
There is. And a lot of rules are about perception. He came down and was hit and lost the ball - I didn't see any type of move after he came down. But again, that's perception.
