I took that from the book "Basketball Rules in Pictures (NFHS and NCAA rules)" (from mid 90's, I believe) and the section is somewhat ambiguous to read.
It clearly states that a replaced player must wait until returning, then it says "Substitutes are meant to play, if only for a short while." I took that to mean the subs needed to be on the court for the same standard.
