Regardless of what happened, it is truely a judgement call. It's one that is called right (or wrong) just about 50% of the time depending on whose team it was happening too.
Here is a suggestion. Many officials have discussed this one and most thought it would be a workable change. That is to send in a rules change proposal to the NFHS to allow an exception for the knee being down while fielding a snap while in scrimmage kick formation or fielding a grounded free kick.
You will have to be very specific with details regarding such a change to make it easy for officials to call it and player/coaches to understand it.
See what they say! Got nothing to lose.
