If you want to seriously talk rules, get the term "crackback" out of your vocabulary. It is not to be found in NFHS rules. All the normal definitions regarding blocking apply here.
After a game last week, I had a parent ask me if "chop" blocks are legal. After talking to him, I found out that he meant blocks below the waist. I explained to him the legalities of blocks below the waist in the free blocking zone, etc.
I wish ESPN would do a show on rules so the average Joe can better understand them. Terminology would be a good place to start.
