Trick plays are a part of sports. Leave that stuff to the coaches to sort out.

And there are "trick plays" that are also against the rules in ASA, such as a fake tag. ASA establishes that they can and will draw a line for deceptive plays. I'm of the camp that if a coach yells out the incorrect number of outs, I will declare the correct number of outs (in a non-directed manner). Just about every time, it's been due to a simple mistake, and it's been appreciated by the players whose games I've called.
