there awhile.
Are you going to throw the flag then?

Heck yeah. Just cause he's got TO doesn't mean he can have 12 in the huddle. I had this happen earlier this season in a JV game where there was a TO and when the TO ended, coach and 1 player left to go back to the sideline. I counted and realized we still had 11 on the field, so that other player musta been there awhile. I mentioned it to the captain and let him know that if it happened again, it'd be a penalty. It happened again later. I flagged it. Coach questioned it, and I told him that was the 2nd time that game and that I had warned the captain the first time it happened. He said I shoulda told him. I agreed with him that that may have been the BETTER thing to do, but he took the 5 yards anyhow.
