3-7-4: "During the same dead ball interval...no player shall withdraw and re-enter as a substitute." The question is, did that individual ever stop being a player? I would say no: "A player continues to be a player until a substitute enters the field and indicates to the player he is replaced, or when the substitute otherwise becomes a player (2-30-1)." Based on this I would say he never quit being a player and therefore did not become a substitute, so what he did was legal. Any comments?

This is my thinking, but I'm looking for comments too.
