Illegal Lineup?

[MCBear]

John, thanks for your willingness to listen. The only thing that I forgot in my answer was that the offending team is going to be charged with an Unnecessary Delay Time-Out for the illegal player being on the court. The correct player must be on the court at the end of the UD T-O or, as I said earlier, the coach may sub for her if it is desired.

Scrapper, I always assume that the rules set being discussed on this board is NFHS unless the poster states otherwise. For NCAA rules, see 10.3.2 for the specifics of what needs to be done.

So illegal substitution AND unnecessary delay?

However umpire did check the line up and verified players before authorization for the match.

I'd say kick the score keeper in the balls for transposing numbers.

How do we know it's really an illegal player on the court? You never know who's chicken scratch is worse?
Before we start penalizing teams/players we also have to make sure our other referee corps is up to snuff.

Yep, because the illegal substitution is handled with an Unnecessary Delay Time-Out. Then, any actions taken while the illegal player was on the court are going to be wiped out per my earlier post.
