I know this may be redundant. I have searched all threads, read the rule book and am still unclear (or just to thick). Thanks

In all cases (presuming th at it is a LEGAL sub, just unreported....

1st time :Team warning
next time: Offender and Coach restricted (or in FL Ejected)

Not sure how you missed it in the rule book:

ART. 2 . . . Unreported Substitute. An unreported substitute is a substitute who has a legal right to participate in the game but has not reported to the umpire prior to her participation (3-6-7). All substitutions must be reported to the umpire.
NOTE: A courtesy runner is not a substitute, but must be reported to the umpire. (8-9-7)

3-6-7: ART. 7 . . . Players and substitutes shall not enter the contest unreported

PENALTY: (Arts. 2 through 10) The umpire shall issue a team warning to the
coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be restricted to the dugout/bench for the remainder of the game.
(snip)(Art. 7) The head coach is also restricted
to the dugout/bench for the remainder of the game.
