NFHS rule 7-5-8... Pass Interference restrictions on a legal forward pass begin for:
a. A with the snap
b. B when the ball leaves the passer's hand.
So in federation rules B can block, bump or otherwise impede
a receiver until the ball leaves the passer's hand; as long
as it isn't defensive holding or some other personal foul.
No 5 yard restriction as in the NFL.
You may want to look at another thread which happened last week, I'll see if I can find it and edit into this post.
The thread was "Illegal Use of Hands"... just added to it to
get it active for your reading pleasure and consideration.
