A second poster questioned my reply. I explained that the play is not addressed as illegal in the NFHS rule book and is legal. His reply?

"That has to be the WORST interpretation of that rule I have ever seen/read.

To the original poster...

I wouldn't even consider for one minute to send your QB beyond the LOS then back up to throw a pass. I can guarantee that 99.9% of refs are going to throw the laundry out every time. Again, this is a HORRIBLE interpretation of this rule."


Would any of you be interested in helping this gentleman better udnerstand the rule? He just doesn't believe me.
Show him the differences book between NF and NCAA. It shows both rules and provides two plays.
