I am curious if there is an NCAA rule similar to the one you describe outlawing the "Where's the Tee" play (which would seem to outlaw the play I described as well). I can't find one, but it's a big book.
In answer to the question about the center. He wasn't standing sideways. He was lined up facing the line, but not centered on the ball - the ball was still between his feet, but closer to his right foot. He picked it up and handed it smoothly to the QB to his right.
Another question - if the whole play had been handled with no communications to the sideline (no - "Coach the ball is wet!" dialog), would it be legal in NF. Center hands (snaps to the side) the ball to QB, and no one else moves. QB walks behind his linemen casually. Would that be illegal in NF under the rule you sited?
