No. You cannot challenge a judgment call by a referee and a penalty is a judgment call.

However, if during the review the officials determine that there were 12 players on the field at the time of the play, that penalty can be administered. But a coach cannot officially call for a review due to his thinking that the referees missed a penalty on the play.

Actually, penalties such as illegal forward pass, forward pass beyond the line of scrimage, and touching of the ball by an ineligable receiver are reviewable. So penaties that are factual are reviewable.

No. As long as you snap the ball while there is still time on the clock, the game can't end until the play is over. If you snap it with 1 second to go and throw an incompletion but there is a penalty on the defense, you get another play. (The game can not end on a defensive penalty)

Can a coach challenge an incomplete pass on the field?

A coach can challenge a play at anytime in the game before either two minute warmings. After the two minute warning the review comes from up top. A coach will challenge a play when the call on the field was questionable and could be over turned. If he wins the challenge the call is overturned, although if he loses it the team will be charged with a timeout. You can Challenge most controversial calls on the field, I.E fumbles, catches, interceptions, even some kinds of fieldgoals. The challenge has been proven to be effective and for the most part fair and accurtate.
