We too were impressed with his rules knowledge, so we asked him about it after the game. He said he had the same team last week and they did the same thing but he did not call it illegal. After that game, the opposing coach questioned the plays legality. The official told the coach he would check the rule and case books. Upon doing so, he found the afore mentioned case play. He knew he would have this team again, so he said he was ready for the play. It was a classic to see the coaches face when the official said, "page 74 of the case book, look it up and get back to me."
