Do you provide lee way in these situations? When I referee, I tend to provide some lattitude to the QB, within reason. How do you handle?
How much "leeway" do you give for an offside? Are players allowed to be what - 3" offside? 6"? Two feet?

Leeway is leeway, and on things like that, it's always a judgement concept. However, your phrase is key "when the (qb) releases the beall, he has definitely entered the neutral zone."

No leeway. Definite is definite. Your Ump was 100% positive... he threw the flag.
