How to handle this

[chapmaja]

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?

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.

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.
