SME,
Way to contradict yourself!
First you said ALL the players returned. I take ALL to mean 5 of them.
Then you said 4 went on the court and 1 player did not. Specifically, you said, "a 5th player never acually "returned" to the floor. That is what 10-1-9 actually does require---that all 5 actually RETURN
to the floor.
Players are either on the court (within the lines) or off the court (outside the lines). See player location 4-35.
Players do not report to the table, they are already in the game. Only substitutes are required to report (3-3-1).
All I care is the team must have 5 players within the lines and 5 must return at the same time following a timeout. Any more or less than 5 results in an immediate Team T.
That means B5 is somewhere outside the lines while the rest of his teammates are within the lines. I don't care whether he was at the scorer's table or why he went there, or still sitting on the bench the T still is given.
