Perhaps it was mentioned but if not:
The NFHS defines players and one article indicates "If entry is not legal, the substitute becomes a player when the ball becomes live."
I would not argue that "participating" and "playing" are different.
In searching the rule book for occurrences of "participat" (no "e" to get all words containing the root), all are regarding live ball play.
From all this, one might infer that the definition of participating involves only live ball play.
Stupid NFHS rules editors.
