As I said, rule 10-2-2PENALTY tells you exactly what to do. Whether illegal substitution occurs during a live ball or a dead ball, you can penalize it...as the rule states... only if you discover it before the ball becomes live.

The PENALTY works exactly the same for an illegal substitution during both live and dead balls. If illegal substitution occurs during a dead ball, to penalize it you have to discover it before the ball again becomes live. And if illegal substitution occurs during a live ball, similarly, to penalize it you have to discover it before the ball again becomes live also. The rules language applies equally to both situations.
