Sounds like 100% the appropriate thing to do in a real game, but on a written exam, once the substitute has been mistakenly beckoned and enters the court, is it too late to send him back because the substitute became a player?
Not reporting to the table would result in an illegal substitution.
Not being beckoned would make this an illegal substitution.
Both result in the substitute not legally becoming a player, along with the possibility of a technical foul penalty.
3-3-3: A substitute becomes a player when he/she legally enters the court.
Is it illegal for a substitute to simply follow the misguided direction of an official?
Where does the rulebook say that the penalty for this otherwise "legal" act is to send him back?
