It appears that Mike Goodwin agrees with the IAABO answer, let A6 and A7 in before the disqualified player is replaced.
Despite what my friend Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. posted, I'm starting to agree with Mike Goodwin (and IAABO).
Was there ever a NFHS rule that said no substitutes until a replacement is made?
Can anybody cite the rule (or mechanic)?
Or was it just a local "best practice" to ensure that the disqualified player was replaced in a correct and timely manner?
If it was a rule, when did it change?
If it was never a rule, was the 2003-04 NFHS Points of Emphasis due to some confusion about the disqualification process?
And finally, the straw I've been grasping at for several weeks, why does 2020-21 NFHS Basketball Rule Interpretations Situation 10 instruct us that "the substitute shall remain at the table" if indeed there is no such rule to deny substitutes entry before the disqualified player is replaced?
I'm desperate for some closure here.
And it's gone way beyond me getting the exam question right or wrong,
I really want to know the rule.
