But the question now must be what if it does?
You would penalize with a technical see sit: 10.1.9 in casebook.

You've brought this up several times, and 10.1.9 has NOTHING TO DO with 10.3.3. The T in 10.1.9 is for "not all returning at the same time" -- and the rule (10-1-9) specifically limits this to "following a TO or intermission."
There was no TO or intermission involved in 10.3.3B, so rule 10-1-9 does not apply.
The rule would be easier to administer, understand and apply, and would place the blame where it belongs if both rules were changed to 'If play is started when one team has fewer than 5 players, that team shall play with fewer than 5 until the next opportunity to substitute."
Hmmm -- maybe I'll propose that for next year.
