Okay, I'm just a fan who stumbled onto this board, but if I can clear this up, it's worth it.

Let's say it's 4th and 10 from the A's 30. A lines up to punt. The ball is snapped to the punter (A4), who throws a high, arcing pass towards the left sideline. The ball lands inbounds at B's 35 yard line. Now A81 probably would have been able to catch the pass had he not been blocked by B24 and B37, who were blocking as if it were a punt.

I know in the NCAA this was recently made an exception to the pass interference rule. High school, I'm not so sure. The play's definitely unethical, but would it normally draw a flag from the officials?

Why is the play unethical? If the ball falls incomplete, B takes over on A's 30. Risky, and if B interferes it should be called.
