NCAA 6.4.8 and 6.1.4a similar

Just sayin
Thanks for the reference. I tried to think of a violation that could occur before the ball becomes live.

BTW, if tis happens to me, I'm simply stopping and telling everyone to get set. It's a weak call IMHO. But you're correct, it is a rule. I could see OS calling it if he knew anything about the rules.
