I've been working high school varsity intersquad scrimmages for thirty-five years, and never once considered that the extremely rare problems that I had encountered, like a player mouthing of to me, were caused because there were two different teams involved.

Players could mouth of to an official in an intrasquad scrimmage just as easily as in an intersquad scrimmage.
