Mistaken substitution

Fortunately, NFHS soccer rules for substitutions are similar to those of basketball. Soccer subs also don't report whom they're replacing; they just show up at the table (if there is one), like basketball, and aren't players until they're beckoned in. (The big difference is, when the clock is running, a soccer sub has to be at the table area when the ball goes out of bounds.)

In either sport, the way I've read it is, once they're beckoned in, someone has to go out. Or, as PG mentioned, someone else could come off the bench to replace the new player getting "pulled back." (Though, I believe you could only do that in soccer with a stopped clock.)
