That particullar part of it is neither confusing not that important, however it is part of the rule. Usually the best way to handle it is to let the coach know what he is doing wrong. You can also handle it by teling the QB to wait until the lineman are set before sending the back in motion. If he wants to continue doing it then flag it until he finally understands.
