If the crew can get the defense counted and confirm there’s 12, and the ball hasn’t been snapped, we’re instructed to shut it down and call a dead ball foul for illegal substitution, which is 5 yds. If you can’t get the play shut down before the ball is snapped, and there are 12 in the defensive formation, then it’s a 15 yd. illegal participation penalty (live ball). If the defense has 12, and one of them is trying to get off, but doesn’t get there before the snap, that’s also illegal substitution, but it’s a 5 yd. live ball foul at the snap.
