Disc was swung to the left side of the field (near break mark), handler winds up and throw a deep shot to the endzone that was caught the defender marking the intended receiver was not after by the pick. After the catch, defenders in the stack said that the pick was called a few seconds before the disc was released and argue they might have help D if pick had not occurred. Should play stands?

[Rueben Berg]

If the defenders stopped because they heard a pick call before the throw, and they believe that the fact that they stopped means that the play was affected, then 16.3 does not apply and the disc comes back to the thrower.
