I'm a basketball official but still get asked football questions for some reason.

Offense comes to the line and the offensive linemen start doing some sort of counting/pointing - all of them do this -very demonstrative - been doing it for decades for this team.

I was asked if :

a)it would be offsides if when pointing their hand actually extended past the LOS

and

b)if their hand did cross over and a defender reached out and made contact what would the call be.
