Two things to remember here:
1. When the faceoff man is one of the folks who "has to stay onsides during a man-down faceoff)" then when he goes down to do the faceoff and his gloves touch the midline (normally offsides) then the offsides rules is waived for that FOGO man until he is finished the faceoff.
2. In Fed. rules, if that near wing is left open, then the man coming in from his penalty can enter field when his pen. time expires. In NCAA, he must wait until possession is called, or ball goes into def. box or goes out of bounds, etc.
