I agree young.

Take it a step further... and remember this is a tourney. These coaches don't know each other - and all want to win. There's no "Aw shucks we're just here to play, let it go" going on."

Let's say the OTHER coach knows the rules. You let the uninformed coach reenter her sub, or worse, let the pitcher pitch beyond the 2nd conference. NOW, you have an Ess-Storm, probably followed by dumb coach angry with smart coach, perhaps even escalating from there.

There are times when choosing to not see something minor is more in the spirit of the game (like, R1 on 3rd with left foot on the bag lifts the left foot briefly to remove some mud ... I didn't see that)... but sub rules, pitching rules, etc are pretty basic to this game, and enforcing them when those rules are to be used for the tourney is not OOO.
