I can only think of two:
1) Snap Infraction (Which is in reality a dead ball foul)
2) As soon as the ball is snapped for The "Where's the Tee" play that Ed mentioned above.

NO, an illegal motion is a live ball foul which occurs simultaneousley with the snap and would be enforced from the basic spot at the completion of the play
However, is it possible that this certified official actually blew a false start dead? Restated, did the motion man turn upfield before the snap? If so this is a false start and he would have been correct if he blew the play dead!
