If my memory serves me, and it usually doesn't, the play involved a free throw. Team A has six eligible players. Before B1 shoots the first of a one and one, A6 substitutes for A1. B1 makes the first free throw, but while attempting to get a rebound, A2 is injured and can no longer participate. A1, who hasn't "sat a tick" (the clock never started) reports to replace the injured A2. I could have sworn that the substitution for the injured player was allowed because "playing with five trumps sitting a tick".
I would appreciate further discussion on this, hopefully with some closure.

You are correct Billy. The NFHS posted a ruling saying that the requirement that 5 play supersedes the rule requiring a sub to sit out a tick of the clock....and it is logical too, imagine that.
The sit-a-tick rule is to address a specific situation and has exceptions when it conflicts with other rules.
