    A good example of officiating WITH the rule book and not BY the rule book. You are essentially using the God rule to apply a false start here. If you let this go you'll like end with too many crazy results. You'll be much better off killing this, enforcing the penalty and moving forward.

    Totally wrong. There is no way to make this a dead ball foul. I can’t believe someone thinks thats possible 🤯. It’s a live ball illegal formation foul. Why don’t you kill every live ball presnap foul then?

    It was hypothetical, suppose they did.

    I would think it would be on the school ad and coach to make sure they self reported and held a player out the next week of they were ejected in a different state

    Like I said, it makes it easy to call a False Start on A simply because they are on offense, regardless if they had 10 or 12.  You have a simple enforcement and nothing crazy can happen.  But I get the rule of law states it is an illegal substitution since he has reported inside the numbers.  Officials have the benefit of a lot of coaches not knowing that specific aspect.  Or perhaps I am just being mean thinking coaches don't understand the finer points of some rules.

    I don’t think you can have a false start. If he gets inside the marks are you gonna allow it? Then it’s not a false start. The foul is illegal formation if you don’t get inside the 9 yard marks and is a live ball foul. There isn’t a foul until the snap

    On another note, as I understand it, this was played in Cincinnati. Assuming you used Indiana officials, are officials obligated to fill out reports on games played out of state?

    I’m not sure what this means? They didn’t have a foul so they wouldn’t have anything to report?

    It's one of those things where it may not meet the exact definition of a false start, but nothing good is going to come of it so you may be better off killing it and calling it a false start. It's different than a player going in motion toward the the line of scrimmage or an illegal shift because everyone didn't get reset after moving. This would definitely be a live ball foul for something (illegal shift because all 11 players weren't set prior to the snap...illegal sub only if he came in right before the snap) so just kill it and prevent anything else more stupid from happening. Use the God rule if anyone questions what you did.

    No! It’s illegal formation. You don’t have a foul until they snap it. If he gets inside the marks and stops you don’t have a foul so you can’t have a false start
