[i]How does a coach do this? I don't mean in the moral sense, but in the actual sense. I don't know about you guys, but we usually have 4 people (but sometimes 3) on the chains. But there is always somebody at either end of the chains, and one for the box. So given that there is someone there, how does a coach move the yard marker, without support from the guy on the end of it? And if he moved a yard marker in the sense of a number on the side of the field, what were the officials using? Why were they looking at the numbers instead of the chains?

Yes, there were stundents on the chains and he made the one student on the one end of the chains move. If the officials would have measured they would have figured it out because only one end moved.
