Lightbulb Canadian Ruling

Receiver A80 motions towards the ball, and hikes it sideways in one conitinuous motion. Legal? Or does he have to set for one full second before hiking the ball?
CANADIAN RULING:

Illegal. The snapped ball must travel between the snapper's legs. IWO, side snaps are not permitted. Foul: Illegal Procedure. Penalty: 5 yards from PLS, DR.
