I know my refereees have never used the casebook at all. They let me run my fake timeout play when the qb walks off as if to call timeout and then we snap the ball to the fb....we ran it in the state championship in our division...anyway,

thanks for the time.
Coach, I have to applaud you for seeking an interpretation of the rules. Football rules are complicated and often require interpretations. Unfortunately, coaches and even some officials do not seek the wisdom of the case book. And I have to admit until someone pointed it out to me on this forum the "where's the tee" play was a funny little play. I would bet of the 24 referees in my association the only one who would enforce an unsportsmanlike penalty would be me.
