Thanks for the input. Seems that there really is no consensus.
I wanted to throw in some comments from our Section commissioner and another respected official in the area:
Here are some quote from NS CIF Commiss Liz Kyle:
"You cannot appeal a judgment call. A rule interpretation is appealable, but you have to do it during the game," she said. "I have talked with the Paradise administration. I told them I'd look into it. I'm still in the process."
Here is some for facts from Lloyd Menefee of Corning for the Redding unit of the California Football Officials Association.
"Illegal substitution CAN be a dead-ball foul, Menefee said, and if it was in that situation, it would have been Paradise's ball because of an incomplete pass after the blocked field goal on fourth down. A dead-ball penalty wasn't the appropriate call in that case, though, Menefee said.
"In this case the illegal substitution would have been a live-ball foul because it occurred during a live ball," he said. "The only time you get a dead-ball substitution foul is if there's 12 players in the huddle and one forgets to go out, or if someone doesn't get off the field before the ball is snapped."
More fuel for the fire.
Thanks everyone!
