The best proposal of the bunch. Punishing a player for doing what they're told never made much sense.

How is this punishing the player? To me, it punishes the team and the manager's strategy. Do you suggest you just ignore it?

It punishes the player by not allowing him/her to participate in the game based on a violation committed by the coach. The team can be punished by nullifying a defensive play made by the unreported sub or getting an out when discovered on offense. Afterwards the player is placed in the lineup. We don't disqualify players for BOO, which is a similar violation.

What an inane question.

Always, I have thought, the COACH should go.
