How do you...

...use the QB to pitch out on the option. Can anyone explain how they or their league use the option to pitch to a trailing RB? What are the rules? (I hope one doesn't need a dictionary, thesaurus, and a slide rule to understand this).

We used to allow pitches . All that had to be done was the qb and rb had to be less than 5 yards apart , and the pitch was automatic. The problem we encountered was after the pitych the rb could be adjusted anyway desired. That created alot of problems for the defense.

[Coach K-LO]

we allow pitches to happen as long as the RB is with in base and a 1/2 (5 yds) of the QB.

However, once the pitch is made, all unengaged defenders can be adjusted/pivoted towards the RB. That is why it's best to "run it off the break!" - Lomax
