There are no precise rules in the book for stupidity.

According to the rules the umpire is the final authority on legality of equipment which includes casting and according to 1-5-3c must have written direction by a physician. And keep the note for liability purposes.

Therefore, the person cannot become a player for the entire game.

If the person attempts to become a player it is an unsportsmanlike on the head coach who has vouched for the legality of player equipment. And, the person can still not become a player.

You might try to extend 3-5-10b -- the unconscious player rule to apply to this moron who while conscious in the physical sense is unconscious in the mental sense.

Bottom line, there is no way he gets on the field.
