We were having a little debate last night and I was wondering if anyone had any official interpretation material on this issue.
Rule 9-5-1d states that it is unsportsmanlike conduct for B to use "disconcerting acts or words prior to the snap in an attempt to interfere with Aâs signals or movements."
My question is what is considered a "disconcerting act" as opposed to "word." Can it encompass physical acts meant to draw the offense into a false start (e.g., running at the line and stopping before the neutral zone), or is it limited to cadence issues.
As a follow-up to this question, is there ever a foul against B for acting in a manner meant to draw A players into a false start?
