No, you haven't. Referees like to do these matches and the ones assigned to them are well beyond the threshold where such basic things as knowing or reviewing substitution rules is an issue. Besides, why would a referee of this caliber jeopardize their chances of further assignments by ignoring basic and easily enforceable fundamentals like substitution rules?

Just A Parent, or should I say Just A Referee, (sorry J.A.P, i could not help myself) I'm sorry but it has happened and it does happen. As primarily a coach (I also have been ref'n for 15+ years) it does happen. To simply state that it is too easy to follow the rules and thus does not happen is naive to say the least. As for the date, and match of said offences, I have very little desire to throw a ref (or a coach) under the bus on a public forum, much less do the research and track back to the specifics offences. Also while I do not coach in the DA, I do and have coached in csl and scdsl for many years and I can not tell you how many times I have had to "help" the match officials as it pertains to:
1. the official rules of the gaming circuit n question. You find some who incorectly apply scdsl rules to CSL or vice verse.
2. improper understanding of the LOTG. " you can't score on a KO", Yes you were off side (in my own d half?), he got the ball first so it CAN"T be a foul.
3. Refs not following assessors mandates regarding "requested" water breaks, or other points of emphasis.
3. Match officials in SCDSL making threats of issuing cards in my fore mentioned post regarding subs. in essence not following league rules.
J.A.P.
"In view of contradicting information on this and other issues in this specific league, I took the liberty of contacting the league head honcho directly. I carry her email with me stating coaches and not referees, are responsible for monitoring the reentries. Every now and then a coach would voice a complaint and I show them the email from the league."
This is key to why I even posted on this thread. As it relates to subsitution (and unfortunatly too many other issues) so much that should be cut and dry is not. Thus between coaches who use subsitution as a tactic to either time waste or to play a level of high pressing that would be impossible with limited subs/re entry, and refs who do not know or chose not to enforce the proper subsituition rules (and or LOTG) of any gaming circuit this (Subsitution) issue WILL continue to be a major point of discussion/contenion.
Just A Parent, the question I have for you is why are you so invested in maintaining the illusion of the nobility and sanctity of EVERY MATCH OFFICIAL?. We can continue to digress and make this a thread which is NOT about the topic at hand, but if so WHY?
