There's nothing wrong with what they did. Just because the clock starts on the snap in a varsity game, it doesn't mean that it happens that way at lower level games.

In my state, in JV and other lower level games, the clock starts on the ready whistle after a change of possession.

If you have more than one game scheduled on a field, and I was the referee, we would start the clock on the ready, until a superior told me otherwise.
