I am not trying to be smart, I am just curious: what is a "bumarooski?"
That having been asked, I must give my 2 cents on this play...I would rule this unsportsmanlike.
The 'swinging gate' is an unusual formation meant to deceive the defense, but I don't think anyone will argue that it is illegal, and, specifically, it is not meant to make the defense think the snap is not imminent.
As descibed, this play does make it seem like the snap is not about to happen. "Calling an audible or changing all their pass routes or something..." were Mike Sears's words in the original post. To me, this is an attempt to try to show that is snap is not 'imminent.' Again, going back to the OP, the QB's back is toward the center...in this situation, not something the QB would do if he were expecting the snap.
Anyway, that's just my opinion on the play, but it does not seem that a consensus will be reached.
