No foul. Block was not between the shoulder blades.
I think the umpire could've avoided being screened off this play by starting closer to the linebackers. He didn't move very aggessively -- once reading pass he needed to get up to the line.
The referee should've been right behind the rolling quarterback. It looked as though he started right behind the tailback and simply backed up -- if he WAS on the QB's arm side at the snap I don't know how he ended up where he did.
The back judge didn't keep the receiver/defender behind him. Once he read the pass as being in the end zone, he should've moved to the end line.
The BIB, if there was one, could be handled by the R or the U. The U would have a better view of whether the contact was legal, but he was not up in the play as he needed to be.
Oh, and is the linesman chained to the chains? He should've been downfield with the receiver/defender on his side. Had the play gone that way the BJ would've had to come over and cover it.
Great play for teaching purposes, in many ways.
