That is one of those had to be there plays..there has been a lot of discussion regarding "trickery" lately. We have a WH who is also working D1 ball, his contention on a play such as this is, if there is no advantage gained, on a play that is technically legal, but somewhat questionable, alow it to stand. For example if the defense encroaches due to the action then penalize if they don't then pass on the flag if you can...It sounds to me though that the flags were for what clearly looked like action at the snap...as a WH I would have a hard time waiving those off...
