no pass interference on punts?

[ajmc]

To avoid any unnecessary confusion with the NFHS code, (NF:7.5.7) "Pass interference restrictions only apply beyond the neutral zone and only if the pass, untouched by B in or behind the NZ, crosses the neutral zone.

(NF:7.5.10.a) "It is pass interference if: (a) Any player of A or B who is beyond the NZ interferes with an eligible opponent's opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the pass."

That's on a legal forward pass, right?

BTW, here's the play in question:

right, and apparently nobody is eligible in a punt formation. so wouldn't it be illegal touching then when you fake a punt and pass? confusing.

In which code? I thought the ends were eligible at least in the NFL. What are the rules in NCAA and NFHS?

Both NCAA and NFHS, ends and backs with eligible numbers are eligible. Yes, Virginia, even on punts.

In NFHS, and I'm sure NCAA there's some additional rules about scrimmage kick formations but I'll spare you the details unless you really want them.

I've read more than enough about "scrimmage kick" formations in NFHS in other threads, thanks.
