Maybe, just maybe. But....
In the OP, the players are not doing anything but walking towards their bench. No participating going on.
In the case of a violation (or foul, or held ball) and the accompanying dead ball, I'd argue they're not participating here either. If the ball is dead and the clock is stopped, participation has paused for everyone, IMO.
