Please don't get caught up in MTD's opinion's which he includes with the actual text of the rules. His quotations of the rules mean something. His person interpretations of those rules don't.

I do now realize that what I thought was a citation is his opinion...however I do still agree with it. I've not seen and NFHS interp that says otherwise. Post it if it really exists.
Rule 3 does say:
Question - May a team play with fewer than five players? Answer - A team must begin with five players, but if it has no substitutes to replace disqualified or injured players, it must continue with fewer than five.
This rule dosn't comment on the restrictions on when a substitute may enter the game...it just says they only continue with less if they have no more subs.
