Exactly how did you phrase the response to the coach Mike?

Just what does the NF mean by "may lift the ball for lateral rotation". I can see there seems to be a big difference in interpretation on what seems to be a pretty basic statement.
I'll tell you mine, which I think is every other wingmans view that I've worked with. If Mr. snapper lifts the ball more than an inch or two to rotate the ball (about the long axis), well OK. But if he brings it up any further like to his knees, he just cost his team a dead ball snap infraction.

I have a lot of confidence in the Football rules differeces Manual. But I do not see (I just checked) any rule example showing there is a difference between the two codes despite the fact that there seems to be a wording difference already been pointed out.
