They will give you the background as to why a team must have five (5) players on the court if they have five (5) eligible players.

Mark,
That's the thing, the sub is not an eligible player until time runs off of the clock. I understand the 5 players, but a player has to be eligible to play. In this case, the team member is not eligible until time has come off of the clock.
