OK in Canada, but not in US.
Not okay in Canada, either. We have "where's the tee" plays.
I'd let the play roll, and go from there. A kind ref gives 'em 5 yards illegal procedure (deceptive tactics,) and a nasty one gives 'em an objectionable conduct. I prefer the latter, as it's got a dead-ball foul option for application in Canadian, meaning if the thing is incompleted on a forward pass, they'll be 2nd down and 20 after the penalty - and we only gots three downs, eh?

Stuff like this would also likely earn the coach a little discussion from myself at some point.
