NFHS Rules Unreported Sub

[whiskers_ump]

I understand the difference between an unreported and an
illegal Sub. What I fail to grasp is why is there not
a more severe penalty for the Unreported gal. Think
about it.
R1 at 3B, R2 at 2B, S1 bats for B3 without reporting to
the PU and gets a hit driving in R1 and R2. In the next
inning the offended coach informs the umpire that S1 who
entered the game in the last inning, was an unreported
substitute. After confirming coach's observation, PU in-
forms offending coach that S1 is an unreported substitute
and issues the offending team a "Team Warning".
S1 officially in game, however, B3 still has a re-entry
coming and all action on the play stands.

Now the once offending team has their "Team Warning. In
another inning we have S2 batting for B1 and has 3-2 count
when observant defensive coach brings to the PU
attention of the fact that she [S2] is an unreported sub..
Since this is second offense by the same team. S2 is
immediately restricted to the dugout/bench area. The
player whom she replaced old B1 may re-enter if she still
has re-entry rights and any other legal sub may complete the
turn at bat.

Please tell me where we have afflicted punishment upon the
offending team. This is one place NFHS needs to kinda look
at. I guess it is another way of getting another player in
that may not have gotten off the *old pine*.

BTW, You get bored when you have been house restricted and
feel completely out of touch with everything.
