Perhaps you might look up the word obvious.
If I am coaching, I am likely going to run up the middle on 3rd and 1. But if I have an option for something else, I should be permitted to threaten that possibility. In basketball players are often coached to catch the ball in the triple threat position. In football, there is a history of deception in the game.

As for the definition of obvious, I think you seem to believe that there is this reality that exists above the freedom that we all have to define what obvious is.

Again, what has the NCAA defined as obvious as it relates to kicking situations? Without a definition, it seems that obvious to one person has no relation to obvious to another.
