Right. Illegal shift.
...and the ball is snapped less than one second after end A88 had stopped. That's the very definition of an illegal shift (or one of them). I'm a little unclear as to the time line, though. If A88 moved out to a new position on the line and stopped and then A22 moved backward and this all happened in that span of time that lasted less than one second, it was a pretty speedy move backwards by A22. Either way, A88 has to be set for one full second before 1)the ball can be snapped and b) another player goes in motion. Live ball - offsetting with the illegal bat, previous spot, start it on the snap as the ball was OB.
