How to handle this
 

First, When I looked over the line-up I missed two mistakes with the player numbers. That was my fault, but it doesn't remove the obligation from the coach to submit a legal and proper lineup.

This was a HS game using NFHS rules.


A team today turned in the following line-up card for the second game of a DH.



1. R. Cassibo P #1

2. H. Sissle CF #3

3. C. Mackirder SS #16

4. M. Bates 3B #6

5. Kylee Hamlin C #15

6. P. Coutu 1B #9

7. C. Napaletano RF #8

8. R. Stierley LF #10

9. B. Clark 2b #5



Subs



#10 L. Warner

#8 R. Webster


During the second inning when the 8th batter gets a hit it is determined that she is actually wearing #14, not the # 10 listed on the line-up card. The head coach is issued a warning for having an incorrect number on the lin-up card. No additional penalty is issued.

Later the team makes a substitution putting #10 into the lineup for #5.

Prior to the start of the 7th inning the coach informs me she needs to remove play #9 from the game due to an injury. She wants to put player #5 into the game for player #9. This is an illegal substitution, as #5 has already been in the game in the #9 position in the batting order. The assistant coach who is holding the scorebook then convineces the head coach to put #5 into the line-up for #10 (reentry) and put #8 (Webster) into the line-up for #9. When writing this substitution down, I noticed that I noe have #8 Webster in the 6th position in the order, and #8 Napelatno in the 7th spot. Obviosuly this is a major issue.

How would you handle the situation?

I'll take a shot.
 

The reentry is good. #5 re entering for #10.

They have an eligible sub, so get the numbers right, (#8 sub / corrected number), and enter them into the 6th spot for #9.

Coach is now restricted to the bench for the remainder of the game.

I just wanted to confirm I had handled it correctly. I did restrict the head coach to the dugout. As she said, "I should have just stayed home today."

Ironically, they went 1-2-3 in the top of the 7th defensively, and then came back from down 5-3 to win 6-5 in the bottom of the 7th. The coach was in the dugout, the assistant had to coach third, and she needed to send a player (with a batting helmet on). to serve as the 1b coach.

looks good
 

It seems to me you handled it correctly.

If not , the big dogs will come along and straighten the both of us out, if we got it wrong.

Medium dog here thinks you got it right too.

So THAT'S what "MD" stands for! :p

Yep!
