You are correct. There is nothing in rule 8.5.1, nor 2.10.1, which would prevent the coach from using a courtesy runner in your scenario. Now the sticky problem occurs when the team takes the field and the substitute does not go in to pitch.

Apparently, this has not happened in Fed yet or coaches would be screaming for an ammendment to the rule.

Mike,

Thanks for replying. I see you were under same opinion that
I was. I do not have a case book for 2001. [which I have
found out is a definate disadvantage]

See bluezebra's reply to my post. I am glad situation did
happend in this fall-ball and not regular scheduled season
games. Could have, noooooo - would have gotten most
embarrassing with some of the coaches I have to face.
