Now Im confused. The last I saw from NFHS they had adopted the ruling from NCAA as to a coach cannot make a substitute on offense until that player is actually coming to bat. But, I just pulled up the NFHS rule changes and it appears they have backed off from that statement and have now gone to this statement.

A projected substitute is the act of entering a substitute without first removing a player from that position in the lineup. This definition has been added because there are situations where coaches attempt to make a substitution for the upcoming half inning on defense while the player being replaced is still on offense. This is illegal. The coach must first remove the player(s) from the lineup and then enter the substitute(s) name(s) and number(s).

Has NFHS dropped the requirement that offensive substitutions cannot be made until the player is actually coming to bat?
