While I posted the rules... I also told you to refer to the
illegal use of hands thread... which does refer to the potential blocker part of the rules.
There we talked about what potential blocker means...
I don't believe that bumping the receiver is totally unrestricted. If the receiver is a potential blocker and the ball is not in the air he can be blocked, not held but blocked.
The main point is that NFHS is not the NFL, and we don't have the 5 yard restriction that they do.
