THEN I pull out the lineup..go through the motions of looking it over, and then bangs out that CR (and disqualifies of course!) for the infraction...The point being, it is the job of these coaches to know the rules..especially on the travel team level,where there is serious $$ involved.If you want me to coach too, pay me more than the $xx a game I am being paid to just umpire.

That wouldn't be coaching, that would be doing
YOUR job. There is no reason to accept an illegal substitution, and it was your job to say that was an illegal substitution. It can't happen accidently if you are doing your job; and should never happen knowingly on your part.
Sorry, I disagree completely with your example.
