Had a team run a play where a wide-out, who was lined up on the LOS went in motion and cracked the end. Called Illegal Motion as the wide-out must be 5yrds back at the snap if he started on the LOS and is in motion. Is this a correct call?

Coach then asked if the wide-out, starting on the line, stepped back and stopped, then went in motion, could he block the end. Fine, as long as it is a legal block?

You are correct. In the first situation, the wide out was guilty of illegal motion. If he shifts to a position in the backfield and there are still seven on the line, he is free to go in motion after he has been set for a second. He can the block legally anyone he wants to.
