Cause: penalizing the coach / team for adding players to the line-up card after the line-up becomes official.
Effect: The entire roster is listed on the line-up card.
Final effect: none, except there are now a lot of names on the line-up card.
IDK what the impetus was for adding the rule for warnings, etc., for making changes to the line-up, but in HS ball, using the JV team as an extended roster for the varsity team had been going on well before that. Hence, the long roster on the line-up card was a predictable response by some coaches.
Not a big deal, IMO.
