Yes, the NFHS rule does state when noticed but every case play regarding unreported substitutes states when brought to the umpires attention by the offended coach, the offensive coach or the defensive coach. None of the case plays would indicate the umpire should rule on the infraction until brought to their attention by the other team.

I personally have issued an unreported sub warning for a player I have witnessed in the game unreported. The situation was as follows? #4 was the starting right fielder for the home team. In the third inning, the coach came up and indicated that #18 was going in for #4 in the batting order (her team was up, and #4/#18's spot was the leadoff batter). The coach also informed me that #4 would be going back in on defense. I made it clear to the coach she had to tell me when the actual substitution was made for #4 going back in (as I can not accept a projected substitution). During the defensive half of the inning, I look out and see #4 back in the outfield. I warned the team for an unreported substitute because 1) The coach had been informed I needed to be made aware of the substitution when #4 went back in for #18 and 2) It is within my rights as the plate umpire to rule on such circumstances because I noticed the player not properly reported. |

A starter, replaced, reentered, replaced, reentered a second time.
![]() I recognized her because originally a pitcher and because I said "that's her reentry" to the coach the first time. Might not have noticed right away if an outfielder. ![]()

You now have an illegal substitute, which carries a heavier penalty that could be to the other team's advantage. Let the other team bring it up when it is to their advantage. If they don't, then they weren't paying attention or chose not to appeal. This all assumes the player was not reported, if the coach tries to report her back in the game, you are obviously not going to allow it.

Illegal equipment Fake tag Carelessly throwing bat Hitting balls to players to warm up after the game has started Out of the approved team areas Using amplifiers or bullhorns ......... Okay, the case plays all state the infractions are brought to the umpire's attention; does that mean that is the only way it might be noticed, or might it simply be the predominant play, and immaterial to the case play ruling??
