Do you flag this for illegal motion?
(Any of the major USAn codes.) Team A is a bit confused and taking extra time breaking the huddle. A1, thinking he's a 12th player, runs off as the huddle breaks. Team A snaps the ball just before A1 gets over the sideline. Do you flag the illegal motion, or do you think that would be against the spirit of the shift rule?
What if A1 gets out of bounds before the snap? Did his participation in a shift get erased when he became a non-player? Or does he remain a player because he wasn't substituted for?
