He has to do it to create his starting lineup, what difference does it make if he wants to do it later? If he wants to make those changes and risk having a problem with his subs, that is his problem, not ours.
One of the reasons you always repeat the changes back to the coach to ensure accuracy and it gives the coach the opportunity to hear it out loud. You know how it is when something inside your head sounds great and then you actually hear or see your idea in action and think, "What the hell was I thinking?" Some coaches are just that way. I've had coaches hear it and say, "no, that isn't what I want to do" and correct it. Saves all parties a lot of headaches down the road
