Exactly right. The opposing coach wanted you to give the other coach rope to hang himself, but we have to nip this in the bud when we see it.

On the other hand, if you don't catch it and the coach puts in an illegal sub, the responsibility lies with him. Don't let him talk you out of the penalty for illegal sub because "you should have prevented it!"

Kinda like letting that 6th player on the floor in basketball. Try hard to prevent it, enforce the rule if discovered.
