Doesn't make a difference if it is one player or eight, the coach can make whatever changes s/he please, but when they do, those changes are effective immediately. If the coach tries to involve the same player in two changes, you stop them and refuse to take the change. Tell the coach to give you the change when s/he wants it to become effective.

Logically speaking, I agree with that philosophy. However, I've posed this at both ASA and NFHS clinics and was told in no uncertain terms not to do it that way.
I've mentioned before that I was dinged on an NFHS evaluation for taking a sub for the second batter due up that inning.
I believe that if the coach tells me that Sally is going in for Sue and isn't due up until the 7th batter of the upcoming inning, that that change should be legitimate. But I've been told not to do that.
