Indicate color and direction, designate the throw-in spot to alert players that play is about to begin,......".

Seems pretty clear to me.

Yep. It's the same in the 2003-05 version too.

Roadking, you goofed. You were part of the deception because you failed to do your specified mechanic.
We have a local team here that tries this frequently. That coach hates me because I ruin his play by doing the proper mechanic.
