Case Book 5-1-2 b is on on the list of Case Book errors that have been circulated on the various sites because it conflicts with the comments on pare 81 of the rule book which says that in order for a player to have entered...(he) should be viewed...as attempting to become part of the play.
I guess there is a difference between a sub entering the field during a live ball and attempting to become part of the play but still not touching the ball and not influencing the play and a sub just wandering on the field to get a better view. If he's trying to become part of the play it would be IP. If he's just wandering on to the field it could be a violation of 9-8-1 i Nonplayer unsportsmanlike conduct by nonplayer for being on the field except as a substitue or replaced player.
