Agreed. He also wanted a 15 yard penalty for this (thinking it was illegal participation). It really didn't matter because they went for 2, a team A player held during the try and was penalized 10 yards, then they kicked the extra point.


However, a replaced player must leave immediately, this probably didn't happen. Should be flagged for illegal substitution. But if you really did not see the sub enter the field, You'll have to take the heat from coach of team-B for missing this. I'm guessing the player was there from the getgo.

I think he was in there too, but I wasn't sure. It was a second or two before any player left the huddle and a second or two after that when the huddle "broke".

You're wing man on that side should have noticed.

So you are saying a wing official should have noticed this and flagged it? After first downs, or long scores, how quickly should the R begin his count? What routine do you other R's go through after first downs or scores?
