This play wasn't used, but the home team says it's in their playbook. They run a play purposely with 10 players and he'll gain about two yards. An 11th player will enter the huddle when the RFP is blown, and one of the players will exit as if he's a substitute, but then they'll run the "hidden man" play. Of course, they do all get within 15 yards sometime after the RFP. I didn't like it, and neither did the umpire--we insisted it was unfair tactics. Our white hat insisted the play was legal. Your thoughts?
This is definitely illegal but I'll bet that it would slip by most crews. The coach is stupid for bragging about it.
