That yellow piece of material hanging in the refs back pocket should have hit the ground.

Yeah because running plays like that in little league are going to help them become better football players, right?

Saw Pound's JV team do that same play to Kelly about 5-6 years ago.

What makes it a penalty Stripes?

Here the same play is in what looks to be Varsity football. The comentary in this video says it is legal but I was wondering if it really is or not.

I dont have my rule book with me here at work, but I believe it is Rule 9.9.3b. Unsportsmanlike Conduct (deception). Action or verbiage designed to confuse a defense into believing there is a problem and a snap is not iminent is beyond the scope of sportsmanship and is illegal.

Thanks Stripes. I was wondering why you dont see that play all that much around here. I am sure Tom Turner would have used it had it been legal in his days.

Here is the same play but does not work.

then a long snap count should be illegal, an audible/direct snap to the running back should be illegal. IN THIS particular play there is no indication that a snap is not imminent because the player DID in fact snap the ball.
