In the Trick Play thread the snap had been made prior to any "funny" action taking place. If one follows the definition of snap which states the snap must be quick and continuous then the question becomes "is casual a quick and continuous movement?" If the answer is yes then there is a live ball if the answer is no then there is a dead ball snap infraction and any ensuing action is happening during a dead ball and really doesn't mean anything except maybe a warning to the team to not do that any more.

Gotcha...I misread and thought you were saying that the snap in my play was illegal...us coaches are easily confused!
