Would you call this?

[ljudge]

Shot gun formation. Guard blocks below the waist. I'm certain I had this occur in tonight's game but I was looking at the line from left to right and it happened on the right side of the line. I believe I missed it by .1 second.

Seriously, in your opinions you could easily argue that the ball is quickly out of the FBZ and the O-lineman wouldn't necessarily be that quick to beat the ball out of zone therefore could have an illegal block below waist.

The point I'm trying to make is if you saw it that way would you call the foul? I told the coach I was pretty certain I saw this in the first half and would be watching for it in the 2nd half if he went to shotgun again.

I'm very certain he's teaching his guard to do this because he thought it was legal and argued a little about it. He was very surprised to hear it was an illegal act. I told him the FBZ disintegrated once the ball left the zone.

Of course is assistant said "but they're allowed to CHOP." Ugh!
