NFHS Follow-up on KO OOB

[ajmc]

If you're objective is to consider the technical application of a rule to answer a question, as in situation B, IP may be a highly technical answer, but if you're concerned about how to administer such a situation in real life, declaring the ball dead at the spot is the practical application.

In situation B, the receiver can step out UNintentionally. No player of A or K can step out and return and no player can intentionally step out and return (9-6-1, and 2).

No doubt about it. Real game: mark it, set the chains and give my R the "start on the snap" signal. (An Ump in proper position should never see this anyway.)

I just like challenging myself with those technical situations every so often.

Thanks to all that replied.
