Blocking Below The Waist
Last night we had our annual rules clinic. The state commissioner (I'm in LA) gave a very interesting interpretation/guidance/policy on blocking below the waist. He stated that if the QB was in the shotgun, lineman in the 3- and 4-point stances would be permitted to block below the waist on an immediate charge. Lineman in a 2-point stance (where the QB is in the shotgun) would not be permitted to block below the waist.
This really simplifies things from an officiating standpoint, we no longer will have to judge whether or not the low block was an immediate charge. Of course coaches won't be too happy because 90% of the time when a QB is in the shotgun, the linemen are in a 2-point stance. What interpretations are there in other states?
