Thanks for your reply. We are in the Bill George Youth Football League (BGYFL)... with approx. 15 member towns in the western suburbs of Chicago.
I wasn't sure which Ref should make the call, but wouldn't the Head Referee also be responsible for the call since the man in motion is in the backfield and the other backs also shifted into a 3-pt stance?
I wouldn't think the Head Ref would use "it's not my call" as an excuse. And in this case, I doubt if another set of eyes would have helped. The violation occurred over and over again, so I suspect they didn't know the rule.
