Correct and well stated. As long as all blocks were legal and no personal foul contact or action occurred, you have nothing.

This is, once again, the result of too many people bringing Sunday football examples into the high school football arena, with the extreme over-protection of today's NFL QB's. I'd say at least 3 or 4 times a year I have a kid scramble out of the pocket, chased by defenders, and the kid dumps the ball OOB into his team box and when the flag comes out, you hear: "He was out of the pocket!!" Coaches and fans....priceless.
