I'm a line judge and I'm sure others have had this happen before where there are only 6 men on the line of scrimmage so you have an illegal formation. When you explain to the coach that he only had 6 men on the line, the coach will ask "What number" or "Who was off?"
Last Saturday I was the "R" and we had 6 men on the line of scrimmage on a play. The coach went ballistic on our linesman that called it saying "It's your job and responsibility to make sure he's on the line of scrimmage." I went over to the coach and informed him that it is his (the coaches) responsiblity to make sure his player knows where the line of scrimmage is and asked him to find for me in any rule book where it says it's the officials duty."
