Now that you've made me think of it, he probably was within the 9 yard marks. He had just entered my peripheral vision as the ball was snapped. I was wide (3-man mechanics) on his side of the field, but probably not as wide as the 9-yard marks.
We did have one interesting question on this. The holder was on his knee when he received the legal snap. However, he was still on his knee when he threw it back to the center. Would this not kill the play, as he was no longer a holder, but a ball carrier (a passer) who had a knee on the ground.
