Follow-up on Illegal Shift

Thanks for your reply. I thought the play looked funny when I saw it on a scouting video and we mentioned it during a game, but the Ref Crew said that it was legal.

Actually, it was an away game and the Linesman on our side of the field said the RB motion was legal and didn't call the illegal shift when the opposing team went into their 3-pt stance.

So either the crew didn't recognize the illegal shift or they chose not to enforce it even though we complained about it.

I'm not sure who's call it was to make. It was a 3-man crew... Referee, Umpire/Field Judge and a Linesman. I'm pretty sure it was the Referee's call, but can the Linesman also make that call?

Either way, our head coach asked the Linesman to make sure the Referee was aware of the situation. The play happened over and over throughout the game and it was never called.
