Spot when knee is down on ground

[collinb]

I am in my second year as an official in football. This year I joined an association for football. They do not assign games but have speakers each week talk about game situations. It is also a place to talk about plays I may have had in my game that I have questions on.
At the last meeting one of the board members took a group of us that they considered new off to the side and were explaining some basic High School Federation rules.
He said unlike NFL rules that the spot of the ball when a player in possesion of the ball knee touches the ground is where the knee touches the ground and not the formost point of the ball. I looked though the rule book and can not prove his point.
Is he right?
My crew chief disagrees and says it's the foremost point of the ball when the knee touches the ground.
