That's not what the rule says. It's not saying that the sub CAN come in after a foul, violation or time-out. The rule says that during the last minute, a sub can ONLY come in after a foul, violation or timeout. This eliminates the situation of the official blowing the whistle because the ball bounced away from the inbounder, for example. On the men's side, there's a question of whether we should allow the sub or not. It doesn't seem like an inadvertant whistle, and it's not a timing problem; so the sub is ok, right? Well, no. We got a clarification saying not to allow the sub.
But on the women's side, you don't need the clarification. It's not a foul, violation or a time-out, so NO SUB. Much simpler and clearer, IMHO.
