Cruise, no offense, buI I have trouble with "technically illegal". As I see it, our job as officials is to interpret and inforce the rules as written and "within the spirit of the game" to create an even and safe playing field. Every crew chief I have talked to and every crew I have worked with in the last ten years, has and will call that for illegal substitution (spirit of the game) and not illegal participation. Professionally, I believe that the coach was playng a game of deception which went beyond the spirit of the game, and needs to know that the crew won't allow that to happen.
