In this world of political correctness we no longer call players "substitutes" we call them "alternative starters."

However, if a protest is made and upheld the coach can only play with the players listed on his lineup card the day of that game. He cannot add new players later so it is in his best interest to have everyone on the card wether they'll come in or not.

Are you saying that the CIF has a rule that supersedes the NFHS rule? Or are you saying that umpires in your area will not allow it?

NO SUB listings are required.

And if I get sent to start the 4th inning of a PROTEST game started 3 weeks prior, we will do our best to get started with proper players, but then he can sub in WHOEVER HE DAMN WELL PLEASES. (that is legal). REgardless of what that 3 week old lineup card says.

Jeez.

No, I'm saying that is what the powers that be in our association have told us on protests. It was news to me when I heard it this year. Made some sense to me, but seems like it would be difficult to enforce unless the other coach took care of it.

Since when does an umpires' association have the right to issue a ruling that is a direct violaiton of the rules code they are required to uphold?
