This season 10-1-9 is the same, but 10-3-3 has been changed. Leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason has become a violation and is now located under 9-3-2.
2005-2006 rule 9-3-2 "A player shall not leave the floor for an unauthorized reason."
Since no substitute entered for the fifth player, that player is required to remain on the floor, and has committed a violation once the ball becomes live.

That's not the purpose and intent of the new rule. The
COMMENTS ON THE 2005-06 RULES REVISIONS at the back of this year's book sez about this rule --"leaving the court
during the course of play has been increasing with the penalty of a technical foul not being assessed". What part of
"during the course of play" don't you understand, Nevada.
You're trying to apply a rule that has got absolutely nothing to do with the situation being discussed. Apples and oranges.
