I would be very careful trying to use 'mockery of the game' to justify making calls. Part of the game is to try to use deceit and deception to your teams advantage. I remember in high school there was one team who used all these ploys, most worked the first time they tried them and very seldom after. As officials we do not need to interject ourselves into legal plays when we have no business doing so.

I personally enjoy seeing these type of plays because it makes the game fun, that's just me.
