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?"

Yeah..another what the hey.

Pass the ball NOW would be no different than the HC or a player telling the QB to snap the ball quickly due to play clock nearing expiration. Nothing at all there. The part about a player trying to get another one to itch his nose would fall under nothing but maybe taunting or unsportsmanlike, and a simple "knock it off" would take care of that.

Reading a little too into that IMO.

What might I want to rephrase...? The "knock it off" part or the nose itching part...?

These are your examples here partner....no one elses.
