That's because the NFHS has gone back and forth on this. In the 2002-03 Interp which I already posted, the instruction was to have the sub wait at the table until the DQ'd player was replaced and then enter at that time. The very next season replacing DQ'd players was a POE. Here is what it said:
Substituting – Player Disqualifications
The 30-second period permitted for replacing a disqualified player has been given much attention and discussion by the committee in the past several years. Because of numerous abuses and attempts to circumvent this rule, there have been rules proposals submitted ranging from doing away with the 30-second interval resulting in coaches having to make an immediate substitution, to not permitting the remaining four players near the team bench during this time frame. Rather than make a change that could negatively impact programs that are not abusing the situation, the committee felt it best to address the concerns through a Point of Emphasis before initiating any further rules changes. The 20-second warning horn included among this year’s rules changes was an attempt to facilitate this part of the game and assist coaches with making timely decisions. Coaches, officials and table officials should be mindful of the following:
A. The official should first notify the head coach and then the player of the disqualification and then start the 30-second interval. (2-8-4)
B. This period is NOT a time-out; it is for making a required substitution.
C. No time-outs may be granted to either team during this 30-second interval. (5-8-3b)
D. When the required substitute has reported to the table, the 30-second interval has ended and play shall resume immediately. Therefore, if the substitute reports to the table just after the disqualifying foul is called or reported, there is no 30-second interval necessary or permitted. If the required substitute reports within a few seconds of the 30 seconds permitted, play shall resume immediately. (3-3-1d; 3-3-2)
E. If the four players remaining in the game head toward the bench for instruction, they are to remain on the playing court. (4-34-1; 10-3-4)
F. Only the head coach is permitted to be standing during this interval. (10-5-1d)
G. When a substitute approaches the scorer’s table from the offending team, the administering official (and/or the official scorer) should ask the player if he/she is intending to replace the disqualified player.
H. If a substitute from the non-offending team or a substitute from the offending team for someone other than the disqualified player reports to the scorer during the wait for the required substitute, they may enter the game. (3-3-1d)
I. A warning horn shall now be sounded at 20 seconds if the required substitute has not reported to the scorer’s table. This is an indication to the head coach that a substitute should report immediately (2-12-5). This warning horn does not have the same substitution restrictions as a warning horn for a time-out (3-3-1a); other substitutes from either team may still report and enter the game until the ball is about to become live. (3-3-2)
J. If the coach fails to make the required substitution by the end of the 30-second interval, a direct technical foul shall be assessed to the head coach. (10-5-1d)
I'll have to check the current mechanics manual to see what it says on this, probably something entirely different!
