In other words, No!

I now agree, defensive changes must be made when a team is on defense and offensive changes must be made when a team is on offense. Which is NOT, how "Projected Changes" is defined in the NFHS Rule book. (Well it is just not defined). But a "Substitute" is defined as an eligible player being used for another.

So in fact when a Coach told me the #3 was batting for his catcher #5, and #5 would be returning to catch, I would always say, tell me that when your on defense and the catcher returns. Never realizing that #3 is not considered the new catcher when at bat, because he was a substitute in accordance with the rule definition. Which is only referenced in Case Play 3.1.1N.
