"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.

On our crew, we do the following: count 12, recount. If 12 again, reach for flag, then let loose. If a TO is called by anyone,before the flag, go wiht the TO, if not, go wiht the flag. The NF wording we key on is deception. Was it intentional? Wrong person called in /out. IF the players figure it out and get them out quickly, give them benefit of doubt. I have had coaches thank us (oppposing that is) because they do not want it either on them. It has worked for us.
