"Not comparable": "At the table" versus "approaching the table".
Interesting point.
Could somebody please post a current NFHS rule citation for holding some, or all, other substitutes until the replacement it made.
It doesn't exist now, but I would certainly welcome a casebook play or annual interpretation from NFHS describing substitutions during a replacement period that will not be followed by any free throws.
For now, I'm hanging my hat on this:
Substitution: 3-3-1-C: Note: When a player is disqualified or directed to leave the game, both teams may substitute up until it is time to put the ball in play.
It's says "up until", not "when it's time to put the ball in play".
Since starting this thread I've taken a hundred and eighty degree turn and I'm getting dizzy.
