Lightbulb Canadian Ruling

It sounds like a play of interest that a coach should discuss with the R and U during the pre-game coaches conference.

I throw the flag. After the play, I report to the referee Illegal Procedure on A1 for not being set for 1 second before snap.

Coach claims A1 is still in motion because he is "running in place".

What do you have?
CANADIAN RULING:

Legal. Team A must still meet the other formation requirements if A1 vacated the LS.
