Illegal shift, illegal motion, one arm, two arms...
Bottom line is the offense must come set for one second. That means ALL 11 players.
If a player goes in motion as the linemen go from 2-point to 3-point stance the offense has not been set for a second. Illegal shift.
Who calls it? Whoever sees it. I have had both wings and myself as the R have our flags out.
While I was not at the game and cannot and will not critique over the Web, many of us are guilty of letting this go because 1) they don't understand it themselves, or, 2) and I am as guilty as anyone, you just get tired of trying to explain to some crazy coach who now criticizes you for costing him the game when maybe if he learned the game it wouldn't be my fault.
Last season I called it five times on one team. After the second one I went to the coach and told him exactly what was wrong. He didn't get it. From then on I was costing him the game. After five tries I gave up!
