Lineman shifting
Last year I had a JV game with a very similar situation. the whole game the visitors used 2-pt stance on pass plays, and 3 pt on run plays. Late in the game on 4th and short they came set in the 2 pt stance, then shifted to the 3 pt stance in a very exaggerated fashion, causing the defense to jump. I flagged them fro false start. This action was clearly to draw the defense offsides.
You have to use judgement though, and others will tell you this shift is legal. I think the circumstances must dictate whether it is or not.
