As a side discussion - A few coaches are abusing this. The intent is too allow a player to show up late and still be able to play. What some coaches are doing is not listing subs until they use them in the game.

I dont like that too much as it causes an unnecessary beef I gotta deal with just so he can play hokey pokey with his line up.
Seems to me you can nip this in the bud at pregame just like any other obvious problem with the line up card i.e. only first names listed or no jersey numbers or postions listed. I am always going to make a quick count of the players in uniform on both sides just to make sure we have the legal number to start the game. If I count 14 players and a coach hands me a line up card with no subs on it, I will hand it back.

"Coach can you list your subs on here for me please; we can wait a minute for you."

Said with a smile. I have never had a problem with this, at this point in the game most coaches are eager to please.
