#1, if the clock is stopped and the sub reports, you have to let him in. B does not have to use a timeout to get him in.

#2, if the ball is at the thrower's disposal and they're making no attempt to pick it up, you start the 5 second count. Otherwise, they could allow the entire 8 seconds, 10 seconds or 60 seconds to expire without picking it up.
