But since your league doesn't use receiver numbering rules (few youth leagues do), what basis could they have for their claim? Would they say, "That player of yours is known to us as an end, so playing him in the interior is illegal"? I understand that in some leagues there's an unenforced understanding between coaches not to use tackle-eligible plays; could that be the case in yours?
