Well, the real question is when does the ball leave the FBZ when A is in shotgun formation? Also, if the ball is in the zone, a lineman does not need to be on his/her initial charge for a BBW to be legal.

As for the original question, we allow a BBW if the charge happens right with the snap. Also, I agree with BktBallRef that the Arkansas interp. does not make a lot of sense with re. to the type of stance the players are in. I think you need to either say low blocks are legal or illegal when A is in shotgun formation, and don't bring up the type of stance the O-linemen are in.
