Assume the pitcher goes back out to the pitching plate, you've informed the other coach, and the coach says "hey, he/she can't pitch, you removed them earlier" before the pitcher throws a pitch. Do you DQ the pitcher then - before they've thrown a pitch, or do you wait until they've thrown a pitch?

Speaking ASA
An Illegal Player has not violated the rule until a pitch has been thrown or a play made.
