Not if they've already been beckoned.
BV coach tried that in a game this year. One of his kids was wearing #17 (really???) and we told him before the game if the player comes in he - the HC - gets a T. For some odd reason he has the kid check in midway through the 4th quarter of a 6-point game. As we wave him on the coach tells my partner, "Wait, I didn't mean for him to go in!" Riiiiiiight.
The same kid also picked up an IF with two minutes left. Their team ended up winning despite themselves.
