With 4 seconds to play in the half Team A lined up to attempt a 47 yd. field goal. Team A faked the field goal and the holder pitched the ball to the wing man who was running behind him with out lifting his knee off the ground. The wing man threw the ball down field to the Tight End for a TD. Shouldn't the play have been blown dead, as the holder did not lift his knee off the ground when pitching the ball to the wing?

According to NFHS rules, the holder must rise to advance, hand, kick or pass. So if he pitched with a knee on the ground, the ball should have been blown dead at that spot. However, this would be legal under NCAA rules though.
