I would say that the "can't return" rule (3-3-4) takes precedent over the "anyone can shoot" rule (8-3).

The fact that there is a specific exception for pre-game FT's would indicate to me that there is no exception for other cases. In addition, the pre-game exception doesn't let A1 (who has subbed out) go back into the game.

I'll take a look later today and see if there are any case plays.
I don't think you need a case play. The rule (8-3) says "any *eligible* substitute." A player who has left is not an eligible substitute.
Good call.

Thanks for doing my research for me, Bob!
