REPLY: First off, I didn't realize that it was B12 who mouthed off to the U. I guess we're talking about two different fouls by B12/38: One, and you're absolutely correct about it, his comments deserve the USC, but my thoughts were focused on the fact that he entered the field during a down and communicated with an official. That makes him a "player" by definition and therefore he's violated the rule against a disqualified player re-entering the game. Right? That's specifically covered in another NF rule--not USC. It's the latter foul that I think is the key to not dealing with this play inequitably for A. The fact that you caught it as illegal participation is what I was looking at as a means of keeping the score from standing.
