"Momentarily"?? In NCAA rules it is not a foul unless momentarily means more than 3 seconds. But even if it was more than 3 seconds and the crew did not pick it up on their own until the TO was called, I'd go with the TO (and never with both).
REPLY: Mike, the Fed's rule says that "...replaced players shall leave the field immediately," but has no definition or guideline for interpreting the word "immediately." Common interps pretty much agree with the NCAA's use of three seconds as a good guideline.
