Using 5 man mechanics and NFHS rules, how do your crews handle the quick pass to a split end? Here is the play:
Team sets in a legal position wiht A1 under center (the QB) and A80 split out to right side, about 2 steps wider than the yard line numbers. A1 accepts a legal snap, come up turns right and throws a pass to A80 who has moved into a position to be just about even wiht A1.
Who on the crew makes the call if the ball is backwards or not? It is my contention (after covering the play and speaking to many senior officials) that it should be the opposite wing man to make the call. The wing man on the side of the pass can not get into position quick enough to make the call, but teh other side can step quick enough to be in line wiht A1 and either "punch the pass backwards wiht his arm extended in the direction of backwards" or just signal an incomplete pass if the pass hits the grounds and is not backwards.
How do your crews do it?
