motion (Art. 7) – (S20); planned loose-ball infraction (Art. 8) – (S19) – 5 yards.

If you want to pick this nit, than just blow it dead for an illegal substitution, certainly don't wait for this to be a live ball foul and wait for the score to happens to bring it back. As I said earlier he was really close to the numbers(9 yd mark).
