REPLY: In my opinion, someone isn't accurately relating the NFHS's interpretation. I agree with you. I believe your association's interpretation re: the expanded neutral zone on forward passes beyond the neutral zone is incorrect. The neutral zone is expanded
only for ineligibles who contact a B lineman and drive him no more than 2 yards off the defensive LOS. All other ineligibles are restricted by their LOS.
