Vast majority is in favor of just letting him back on as 5th, but the rules are very vague about whether this is allowed or not.

Hence my question to you guys with different rules to see if you have a similar thing with this situation, or that its clear in your rules.

Again thx for all your input.

He would be allowed back as the 5th player. FIBA is specific about that. There is even a provision in FIBA rules that says that an injured player who would normally have to be substituted for (ex: trainer comes on the floor)may remain in the game provided he has recovered if the team has no subs on the bench.
