We have had this in youth games this year. The first time I saw it, I did nothing other than tell the coach. When he kept doing it, flags were flying. He had told his QB not to put his hands under the guard, just line up behind him, but the QB kept putting his hands down there. That's a flag.

As for the poster who said they run the play and the QB does not break the plane of the center, it does not matter, he's breaking the waist of the player on the line meaning that in order for this to be legal, his hands need to be in position to receive the snap.

Agree that at the youth levels, this is a stupid play, teach the game here. All the youth and MS coaches seem to think this is the NFL...
