If a runner stepped on the sideline accidentally on his way for a TD right in front of the opposing team bench/coach, are you going to let that go?
I don't think so.
You might get away with "I didn't see it" once.
If the receiver doesn't actually catch a pass you might have a case for ignoring it. Unless of course team B also fouled during the play. That receiver very well could take it in for a TD.
My take is this should be a flag. My opinion is for the NF to change the rule to match the NCAA. This Illegal Participation penalty is a little to stiff for such a petty situation.
