Actually, it's anywhere between the inbounds (hash) marks. The nine yard marks are typically the tops of the numbers.

As all have agreed such a free kick is an infraction. there is no case book example but the Redding book says:

"K22 places the tee for a kickoff on the 39 yard line. RULING: This is not legal. The covering official should tell K22 to place the tee on the 40 yard line. A kick that is made from other than the free kick line is a free kick infraction which is a dead ball foul with a 5 yard penalty. A fee kick cannot be made from behind the free kick line."

Sorry, the Redding Study Guide is a comprehensive "commentary" and in depth explanation of NF rules. Although it does not claim to usurp the rule book, but compliment it, it certainly offers detailed examples, cases, and elaboration that are very helpful. It is available through a couple of places, Honigs for one. Written by George Demetriou, a long time colorado official

here is a link.

Why is it called the Redding guide if not written by Redding?
WTF?

It's in the same format as the original Redding guide for NCAA.

An official named Rogers Redding used to write it.

Because Demetriou is too hard to pronounce.
