ASA rule 4-7 changed for 2002 to allow substitutes to re-enter one time, the same as starters.
In the thread titled "must forfeit" the situation is presented where a coach may try to reenter a substitute for an injured player and, if allowed, this substitute would bat in a different position in the order than her earlier entry.
Of course, this is illegal.
The ASA rule 4-7 strongly implies that the onus is on the defense to discover this illegal player for there to be any penalty associated with it, similar to BOO.
In the case presented, with a forfeit on the line, would you allow the reentry and leave it up to the defense to protest, or would you inform the coach that he cannot make that substitution and thereby enforce the penalty yourself?
If you would not allow the reentry in this case, would you do anything differently if a forfeit was not at issue?
