I suppose it would depend upon where the receiver of the snap is standing and the action they take.
We've found in the "pistol", the QB tends to set up right about 3 yds back and is usually immediately moving back sometimes before he's even got the ball, which makes it essentially the same as the shotgun as far as the ball being out.
The wildcat? We havn't seen too much of that around here, but it would still depend on where he sets up and what action he takes with the snap. If he's falling back or fading back with a sweep motion, again I'd say the ball is out. If he's moving forward for a run, probably ok.
