How many times do we say players (NCAA and NFL) attempt to keep a punt from going into the EZ that try to keep both feet in the field of play. In NFHS (and I think NCAA, you TX guys can confirm) it doesn't matter where you are in the field (note: OB is different), only where the ball is. However, those guys who try so hard to keep both feet out of the EZ when batting must learn it somewhere.
Is this just a common misconception that coaches and players have?
Or does the NFL have a rule related to where the player is located when batting a kicked ball?
Just a curiosity.
However, this situation is obviously not related to this, since we appear to have some confirmation from the NFL that the ball broke the plane in player possession.
