2nd play - At first I thought flag, but after thinking on this a little more I have changed my mind. You have a clumsy kid who tripped and had illegal contact that did not affect the play. I have nothing. On the other hand, if B1 had could reasonably impacted the play, I would then flag. This comes down to judgement and I would apply the same logic as applied to pass interferance on the opposite side of the field.
(1) This is irrelevant (that they broke with 11). A replaced player must leave immediately. If there were 12 in the huddle for "too long" (and only the referee decides what that is), it should be a dead ball foul for Illegal Subsitution.

the mechanic I was taught was if a huddle is broken with 12 players it is illegal substitution. Therefore, if there if a player leaves the huddle before the huddle breaks, I have no foul. In reality, as my timing gets better as a WH, I am more consious of this situation.
