I heard about this type of play with a Junior High game. defense (not knowingly) yells shift to get into a new formation, causes the offensive line to jump. No foul.
Defense again yells shift, offensive line jumps... it was clear to the official working that now the defense has leanred by doing this they are getting a false start on the offense, officials say no more, next time its a foul.
