2-14-2 A scrimmage-kick formation is a formation with at least one player 7 yards or more behind the neutral zone and in position to receive the long snap. No player may be in position to receive a hand-to-hand snap from between the snapper s legs.

If one cannot see there is a difference between
"The receiver of the snap must be 7 yds back" and "There must be a player 7 yds back in position to receive the snap" then there is not much hope in trying to correctly figure out the rule. |

I would parse that as "If you have a guy at least 7 yards back and he's in position to receive that snap, whether or not he actually receives it, it's a scrimmage kick formation, so on you get." But we have the state's rules interpreter at our local meeting tonight, so I'll ask him.

Just a guess, but either somebody who's trying to take a moribund program and put some life into it, or somebody whose offensive lineman average about 110 pounds.
I would think it would take a lot to get an established, blood n guts coach to abandon what he's been doing for years to try this. It would almost have to be someone young and innovative. Hell, it only takes one - the guy who's coaching one of the two teams in the game you happen to be officiating that night.
