Is it safe to say,
that the restriction against a sub entering 'late' out of a time out (3-1 a)is strictly a measure to ensure a timely restart of the game, and not allow a team to cause extra delay with substitutions?
Unlike 'sit a tick' rule for a substituted player which is a restriction on a player returning, it seems the intent of this rule is timely restart, and nothing more.
