As per 9-6-4a...
If he comes on the field during the down it is IP

According to question #5 on the Part 1 exam, if B12 enters the field during the down, does not affect, influence or participate in the play and returns to the sideline, it is IS not IP, based on 3-7-4.
That's why "but does not make any contact with an opponent or touch the ball and does not influence the play" was removed from 9.6 Comment.

That is NOT what #5 says, and is not the rule.
The NEW rule 9-6-4-a says "it is IP when any player, replaced player, or substitute enters during a down."
Question #5 says "If sub B12 enters the field during a down but does not participate or influence the play, it is a nonplayer foul." This is a FALSE statement, cuz it is NOT a nonplayer foul, but an IP foul.

Not true according to the NFHS, MJT. The NFHS Answer Key says the answer is true and they cite 3-7-4 as the rule reference. Therefore, the NFHS is saying that if the player enters during the down and does not particiapte or influence the play, it is IS, not IP. They are saying that since he is a sub and never becomes a player, it is a non-player foul.
It makes no difference to me. But there are conflicting interpretations here. Which in interp/situation is correct?
