In the play above the snap <b>WAS LEGAL</b>. It appears you are thinking that because the ball has not <b>touched the ground or a backfield player</b> it was not a legal snap. Please note: The requirment of the ball touching the ground or a backfield player is only necessary <b> WHEN AN "A" LINEMAN IS INVOLVED</B>. Restated, since a <b>"TEAM A LINEMAN"</b> was not involved in the play, <b>the snap was legal!</b> I hope this helps |

Ok, I understand NFHS says its legal but it still seems to be illogical to me. I will "try" to leave this topic alone and submit to the masses that this is a legal play. However, for the record I personally and respectfully disagree that this should be ruled as a legal play! End of discussion.

Section 38, Art 3...The snap ends when the ball touches the ground or <b>ANY</b> player. Interpretation: When the Nose Guard swats (touches) the ball the snap legally ended. If someone explained that to me earlier and I missed it, I apologize. This one word "any" seems out of place since the entire definition focuses the readers attention to the offensive side of the ball. NFHS could have better clarified this definition by adding "any <b>A or B</b> player. In my opinion, this is an unfair rule. The snapper should be allowed the opportunity to put the ball in play without someone swatting at the ball but again, it is legal! |
That's what the snapper gets for playing football in a state that doesn't use real football rules like Texas and Massachusetts do.

Opinions are like butt-holes, everybody has one! FYI - If Massachusetts switches to NFHS rules, (and there is still discussion toward that effort) it will be 50-1 (including the District of Columbia) nationwide as to states using NFHS rules. That being said, we all know the better officials can work and understand two sets of rules. That being said, Texas will most likely continue to only use one set of rules. |
