To put it in perspective, IMO the most common attempt at a projected substitute, at least in SP, would be a change like, "Jim is batting for Bob. Bob will reenter". The appropriate response by the umpire should be, "Jim for Bob. Coach, give me the reentry when you would like it to occur."
And before someone goes, "but that is coaching",
it is not. It is the umpire telling the coach that s/he is not accepting the inappropriate change with cause.
