I have a great deal of respect for Camron too, but I also disagree with him on this point. He makes a good argument based upon the spirit and intent of the rules, however, I find it unconvincing. I believe that this is a case of when the black and white, clearly written rule must be applied.

They could take an excessive time-out to allow this player to remain in the game. Of course, they would also have to take the accompanying team technical foul!
