We discussed that if the defense covers the receivers, then do not flag this whether it is a timeout or not. Now everyone does not agree with this, but the rule is to prevent the sleeper play. That is the spirit of the rule and that is how it should be enforced. Of course if you can inform the coaches and players of this situation, then I think we should do so. My crew has not called this all year and we do not plan to unless there is some deception on the offense's part.

JR has the intent covered very well. I would not flag if the D sees it in time to cover it.
