Situation 1:
Official counts 5 for each team and administers the throw-in. After about 30 seconds of action, A6 commits a PC/charging foul.
Table informs the official that A6 had entered during live play immediately prior to receiving the pass.
Was he a legal player? What sort of foul do you charge?

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.

So if A6 had scored a basket during the timeframe and then on the ensuing throw-in committed a foul you would do exactly what when you discover/are informed that A6 is an illegal 6th player?
