NFHS 2-39 SNAP
Art. 1...A snap is the legal act of passing or handing the ball backwards from its position on the ground.
Art. 2...The snap begins when the snapper first moves the ball legally other than adjustment. In a snap, the movement must be quick and continuous backward motion of the ball during which the ball immediately leaves the hand(s) of the snapper and touches a back or the ground before it touches an A lineman.
Art. 3...The snap ends when the ball touches the ground or any player.
Where was this not a snap?
It is possible it was ruled a snap infraction if the snapper did not make a continuous movement. You had to be there!
