My spin on it goes like this....The "D-coach" in the OP that made a fuss about the unlisted (but legal) sub may have known the rule and pulled a fast one on the rookie ump. The "O-coach" didn't know the rule and had a fast one pulled on him as well. Now that the situation is turned around let's say the original "D=coach" is now the O-coach and is under the threat of having his runner removed, but knows the rule. You can't just make the same ruling as before because now you are faced with a protest that would be upheld.

Reason: acknowledging that BKBjones also discusses a protest
