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.

Why do you need clarification for something that is obvious? Of course you can sub during a foul, violation or timeout. You can do that any time during the game. There was never anything special about that when the clock reads less than a minute to go in the game. If you remember the rule was put into place to not allow subs just because there was a timing mistake or inadvertent whistle. If you call a foul or violation or have a timeout, there is no where that prohibits under the Men's rules. If you think there is confusion
(in my opinion) you are not understanding the reason the rule was created or the spirit of the rule in my opinion. The Men's committee did not change the substitution regulations to accommodate this rule.
