If this was the first time you observed them lining up in the neutral zone and it was not obvious; I would agree a silent warning after the play.

The policy my crew uses on neutral zone infractions is the it has to take an advantage or they have been warned at least once.

In this case 65 seconds in the game, on the 12-yard line trailing by less than a TD and now a penalty for improper lineup. Did they gain an advantage? If not, why call it?
Could this call decide the game? In other words, have you placed yourself in a position with a minor call that did not give an advantage to determine the final score?
