BTW that very rule and T demonstrates the inability of trying to apply your citation to such situations. If the ball of dead for a throw-in and then play was restarted with one team having six on the court, your citation would make them all legal players. That cannot be the case.

Okay, let's assume A5 leaves the court and sits on the bench because he happened to be closest to the bench and realized A6 had come onto the court. When, if ever, does A6 become legal?
Or, an alternative.
Following a multiple substitution, the official miscounts and A begins the play with 4 players. A6 jumps in mid-play, catches the pass, and runs over B1. As the official reports the PC foul, the table informs him that A6 did not enter legally. Was A6 ever a legal player?
