Tell the coach something like Football has been and always will be a game of deception and trickery involving multiple shifts, unusual formations and creative plays. However.... This isnt one of them

REPLY: I agree with you Jim, but remember that the foul is for illegal participation...not USC. USC would be a succeeding spot enforcement, which would mean that any score by the offending team would stand. Can't have that now, can we? But the IP is a live ball foul penalized from the basic spot which in my book would be the previous spot since it would be a foul simultaneous with the snap.

Right Bob. I saw I wasn't applying the right foul when I read Doc-WI's post. I was shooting too fast from the hip it seems. Its just that tricky plays like this get my dander up and I'd like to make the coach pay too LOL. Hey, you think I could toss a dead ball USC at the coach and enforce that one too
