That blue box is not in the definition of POSSES; just in the rule about not touching opponents balls. I (likely wrongly) saw that box as a special case for opponents balls.
And even so, its still going to be subjective what qualifies. "impels" is a tricky word. I don't think you'll really know until the coaches meeting.


Also, to the last guy; I don't think even ejection from the field nullifies it as passing to human players (outside the field!) is "part of the game"
