Wasn't there a rule clarification or case play about something very similar?
ASA I believe it would be a dead ball interference call, if the plays intent was to cause confusion to the defense. Unfortunately I'm speaking off the top of my head, I can't site a rule, with ASA there's a interference call for purposely confusing the defense.
