Designated ...

Agree (good explanation for the reasoning behind the rule), but the "designated"" wording is still in the rulebook.
3-3-2: The entering substitute shall not replace a designated jumper or a free thrower except as in 8-2 and 3. If the substitute enters to replace a player who must jump or attempt a free throw, he/she shall withdraw until the next opportunity to substitute.
Is "must" really "must" in my first two situations?
