There is no hard and fast rule about what is legal deception and what isn't legal. Just about every football play has some measure of deception in it.
While deception within the play is acceptable under the rules (bootlegs, flea flickers, etc.) it also seems like the rules makes don't approve deception on the status of the whole play (where's the tee, wrong ball). This seems to me that type of play so I will not allow it. I have no problem explaining to a coach why I either blew it dead (protect the players) or penalized it for USC.
I don't agree on giving him a do-over, though.
