1. I can't imagine how he could have described this in a way that didn't lead them to believe he was trying a hideout play of some sort.
2. The fact that the coach thinks of this as a trick play is proof that his intent was to use the substitution process to deceive the opponent into leaving a receiver wide open.
3. How it was explained is often different from how it's executed. We don't rule based on how it was explained; we rule on how it's executed. Plus, my first point above.
