The 9 yard marks were added to aid officials in calling Substitution infractions, so why wouldn't the foul be illegal substitution. I think it is fine if players on the field never get inside the 9s to call illegal formation, although most officials refuse to!
The case play 3.7.5 goes with Rule 3-7-5 which states what a player must do to be a legal substitute, in the case of A there are restrictions that are not the same for B. If the rule were changed as I propose it would reflect this.
Why is that such a bad thing for all of you?
