15 yard penalty!
That has been my claim the entire time.
ART. 3 . . . No replaced player, substitute, coach, trainer or other attendant
shall hinder an opponent, touch the ball, influence the play or otherwise participate.

Not necessarily. That's why the NFHS saw fit to create 3 seperate rules for the situation, 3-7-5, 7-2-1 and 9-6-4d. Clearly they do not want something like failing to come within the 9 yd marks to rise to the level of the very onerous 15 yd penalty.
And still no explanation of how the covered player is deceptive.
And your article 3 quote deals with players who are not supposed to be on the field, not the question at hand. What we are discussing is the process of illegally substituting a player. That's why the foul is called an illegal
substitution rather than illegal
substitute. One is a process, the other is a person.
