It is encroachment. However, I saw this in a game last season, an extremely tall lineman goes into his three-point stance and finds his arms in the neutral zone. The question. Did he mena to do it? Does he gain an advantage?

My answers were no and no. Just warn the player and the coach and go on with the game

Once warned it never happened again.
