Mark, just because someone is an Editor doesn't mean that they are completely knowledgeable about the material that they are editing. I've seen too many wierd(for you, Chuck) rulings issued by her to consider her as a definitive rules source. You might be better off to go to your state interpreter or another Rules Committee member on this one.
As Tony said, it's not really covered definitively. My own feeling? The purpose and intent imo of the substitution rules were to not allow coaches to play games or gain an unfair advantage with or through the substitution process. Allowing a legitimately injured player who has recovered to re-enter the game in one specific case to make up 5 players on the court isn't really an unfair advantage. Note again that is just my personal opinion. I'm surerashell about as far from being a definitive rules source as you can get.
