10-7-1: A player must not hold, push, charge, trip or impede the progress of an opponent by extending arm(s), shoulder(s), hip(s) or knee(s), or by bending his/her body into other than a normal position.
Agree 100% with JRutledge. thedewed's post had a few components, fake, forward movement, and unnatural movement.
I chose to concentrate on just the forward movement component and problems with thedewed's simple rule suggestion.

I think we see most of these unnatural movement (kicking out) plays on the college, or certainly on the professional level, and I decided to let those officials (college and above) comment on such, as JRutledge did.
While some high school players have the ability to execute such, for most high school players it's a little too nuanced and clever, slightly above their pay grade.
