1) The catcher cannot return to run once the CR has been entered, barring an injury to the CR or to another player with no other subs available.
2) The CR cannot have either a CR (by rule) or a sub (since the CR is not officially in the lineup).
3) The catcher can have a sub, but whether the starting catcher or her sub, neither can return to run for the CR (exceptions noted above).
I do not believe what the coach did was legal.
