Spot on with this answer. |
No, not so spot on. Other provisions of Fed's or of NCAA's false start provisions would at least outlaw the head bob, and probably the sudden jump start (have to see it). Fed seems to have purposely adopted an open-ended wording that's sure to lead to disagreements. What if a player of A pretends to be watching a BJ's signals or play clock and yells, "Pass the ball
now!"? How about, "Darn! Every time I get into 3-point, my nose itches. Would you mind scratching it for me?"
