REPLY: Not if they're truly "blocking" as defined in Rule 2. Holding is holding. Blocking is something different. I would not call it holding unless someone was
grabbed or
hooked and
restrained from moving toward the ball. While the NCAA does prohibit K's blocking until they're eligible to touch the ball, Fed has no rule against.
