Not illegal - unreported - different animals

Assuming it was legal for the player to be batting where she was in the lineup, this was an unreported sub, not an illegal sub. Unreported subs are covered under NFHS Rule 3-3-4 and 3-6-12 PENALTY. The penalty is a team warning, and the NEXT offender is restricted to the bench. There is no OUT assessed.

Doesn't matter - motivation is not the issue. Not reporting the sub is the issue.

When reported.

Yes, they can wait, but no they can't call her out.

Again, an illegal sub is a different (and more serious) infraction.
