There is a huge difference between a back going into motion/shifting, and a back missing a count, or at least for me there is.
My first year I tossed a flag a couple of times and blew the play dead. WH gets on me about it.
Following week at the assoc. meeting my 'false starts' are brought up and the assoc tells me they allow a back to jump - and then reset. Fine.
Following week I let a back 'false start' and reset and catch hell from the HC on my side. Nice, eh? I tell him I've been informed a back is allowed to reset when he "shifts". "Shifts!?!?! Shifts!?!? That was a false start sir!!!"
"Okay coach."
I hate that call, but I'm not arguing with 15-20yr WH's and one WH which is in his 50th season. But I do know a False Start (Simulating action at the snap), from a back who is shifting thank you very much.
