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.

While accurate, I don't think this is the entire picture. One also has to take into account 7-5-7: "Pass interfererence restrictions only apply beyond the neutral zone and only if the legal forward pass, untouched by B in or behind the neutral zone, crosses the neutral zone." This has to be taken into account as well.
Too often, especially with smaller schools, I get complaints of pass interference on screen plays. And the better the program, it seems the more they know. In fact, the WSU vs OSU game on Sat showed a LB drill the RB on a screen preventing the catch. Great play.

Keep in mind, they cannot tackle the RB behind the line of scrimmage waiting to make the catch. The can knock him down, but not tackle him. Otherwise you got him for holding.
