OK, I admit I'm an NCAA guy and not a FED guy ... but you've lost me here.

Only thing I can think of that makes ANY sense out of what you just said would be a player initially on the line stepping back must establish himself as a back by resetting before moving in motion. The guy in the OP was ALREADY a back, and would not need to reset.

(And even if there is a bizarre FED rule I'm unaware of, which is completely possible, that would require a second at the set position if he stopped ... in the OP, the player DIDN'T stop (at least according to O Poster).
