False Start or Legal Motion and Encroachment? H had encroachment, R (me) had a false start. I went with the FST. Coach disagrees. |
In Fed rules, I see encroachment by B. In NCAA, also an encroachment, killing the ball, because the DL's move into the neutral zone drew the snapper's flinch, which I take to be a "spontaneous reaction charge".
#14's action is a legal shift.
Illegal [forward] handing of the ball in both Fed & NCAA. The rules in both are written crappily in such a way as to make it arguably impossible ever to call, but by their spirit it's a forward handoff under conditions where the receiver of it is ineligible to take possession.
