ASA Illegal Substitution Question

[JEL]

Hey BretMan,

Welcome to the ranks of the ASA world. I know you will be a good addition for your local group.

I'm gonna have to agree with your instructor on this one. I'm not there to advise coaches or players. If I were to inform the coach this isn't legal, I would feel obligated to inform the opposing coach also.

If the coach were to ask "can I make this substitution?", then I might tell him that would be illegal.

Having said that, our local rec starts sat. Play will be weak and coaches new. We usually (during the first part of the season anyway) do a lot of "mini rules clinics" during the games. Everbody bats, no sub rules, so this won't come up.
