Ideally never. As a crew you should communicate and make sure you have 10 players ready to go. That being said, if the officials don't catch it, it's really on the coach and the players to make sure there's the right number out there. If you have too many call the T. In the situation described, it sounds like there may not have been enough communication between partners before the ball was at the disposal of the inbounder. After 5 seconds elapse with too many players, you absolutely have to call the T.
