I didn't follow the savy coach or umpire comments, CR will always need to be reported by the coach when they run for F1 or F2:
3-3-4 . . . A substitute or courtesy runner shall not enter the contest unreported. (3-6-7 Penalty, 8-9-7)
CR are married to the position that they run for until they enter the game as a sub.
If CR #55 is the CR runner for F1, she would be CR #55 for any pitcher that has entered the game until #55 enters the game as a sub.

Re: the "savy umpire" question.
Yes CR must be reported... The question comes up if there is a change of pitcher that is unnoticed (and therefore unrecorded on the line-up card). This is not likely to happen during a change that occurs during a half inning, but could conceivably h happen between half innings... Again, us savvy umpires would notice, but......
