I got this from Mola1, it's called "Wrong Ball".

Seen it used by a different team in a different clip last year.

Yeah, there are a lot of variations out there.

This is the best one that I have seen because you can hear the kid saying something about it being he wrong ball and then the coach is like "bring it here" and then he yells "GO!!".

An excellent lesson in sportsmanship.

I heard about that. I don't think I'd do that. It's pretty humiliating.

We used to do the center sneak move though in flag football. My dad coached us and had that play quite a few times. You'd snap the ball, but the QB doesn't take the ball (just lets it hit his hands). The center then sneaks up the middle. Since we had a 5 apple rush (or whatever it was called), the DL wasn't really on guard anyway from the snap. You'd get about 10 yards easy, even if they recognized it right away.

That coach should either
A. Get fired for being an asshole
B. Get beat up by the other teams parents
C. A+B

I think that's in line with A Rod yelling at the fielder running by. It's even worse because it's youth sports and you are trying to teach sportsmanship there.

Right. Thinking back, the clip I saw previous was a high school game. I think I'm far more ok with it at a high school game then with pee-wee league stuff.

Yeah, that's much worse. I think A-rod is perfectly in line to yell at a dude to distract him, and if Peyton Manning can pull off that play in a game good looking.

Problem is what if there really was an issue, and some kid on the other team decided that was a legal snap and crushed him? Would that be right?

Good point. It was a legal snap. The problem is that people would have called it a dirty hit because the QB "didn't realize it was a legal snap", even though the tackler would have made the right play.

That coach is an asshole. If I were the opposing coach, I would go off on that coach.

Hermy's right - if the kid did get cracked, the coach that called the play would say that's unnecessary roughness and yell at the other coach for having his players be out of control.

What a dick.

I think the bottom line for me is that at this level its about teaching kids to compete on a level playing field and the value of that competition in making themselves better. Its fine to win by out smarting someone, but this seems to be just over that line of winning by duplicity rather than by deception. Its not like the QB or RB faked a defender out. The coach made up a play based on some obscure rule (that you can hike the ball to the side rather than through the legs) and got points off it. At the pro level or even highly competitive school level thats cool because its supposed to be about using all your resources. At the little kid level its bush.

Not that I think anyone needs to write a letter or anything. In the end its just 6 points.
