Thanks, guys, for your opinions. Our conference ironed out the following :
Slim was trying to get out of town, so it would be illegal substitution, not illegal participation.
Did he cross the endline before or after the snap
BJ wasn't sure..HL was : "He definitely stepped out before the snap
"
That meant that it was a dead ball foul and the play that just happened (Dumptruck's TD), didn't really.
The penalty moved the ball to the 2 1/2, the clock was reset to 0:03 (time when snap occurred), and Tugboat,s coach was advised : "Foul happened before the play got off, coach, so it didn't count."
Coach responded : "Ayuh, 'spect you guys know what you are talking about as you were doing this before I was born."
Dumptruck ,regained his wind from the delay and again lumbered into paydirt as time expired.
PAT from that end...then the journey to the other end for kickoff.
IF it had been a live ball foul, TD stands, 5 yards enforced on PAT or kickoff. Period ends after PAT.
Another example of the WHEN, in the 4 W's of reporting a foul.
