CANADIAN RULING:
Illegal man downfield.
I had this in the 2005 Provincial Semi-Final. I will not ever coach a kid (ie. tell him what to do), but I do “suggest” an action (if he can read between the lines). The WR comes up to the line with a TE on my side. I asked him if he’s on the line. (He obviously was.) I then asked him if he’s suppose to be there. No answer. I asked him again. Nothing. I said, as I knew the snap was imminent, “Do you wish to take a step back?” Not a word. Two seconds later, the snap comes.
TE goes downfield, catches a 12-yard pass, does a zip to B’s zag, all for a 23-yard gain and first down into the red zone. No way I’m letting this one go.
