Wing Mechanic Question

[mikesears]

During a play, the wing officials most often have the spot of ball at the end of the play. My question is this regarding the "two-feet-together" mechanic:

Does the nose of the ball get placed at (a) Outside edge of lead foot, (b) between the feet on lead foot, (c) between feet on rear feet, or (d) on the outside edge of the rear foot?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've always thought is was between the feet on the lead foot.


Please take a look at this "diagram" (if it actually shows up well).
