[RefCT]

Thanks for clarifying what I was going to ask in a follow-up question Nevadaref.

Billy and Adam - I was not aware what the rule actually read, so thanks for pointing that out. I never even considered the change in rule (as stated in my OP) until a very veteran Varsity official (state finals guy) had the situation occur in a V game after my JV game and he said he knew the sub shouldn't have come in but let him anyway (it was a taunting call after a made basket, no PF). I then saw the same situation with other very veteran officials a couple other times.

Even though I only lurk most of the time, following this forum has expanded my knowledge tremendously and I thank you all. It is time I hit the books again this summer and really study on what the rules are saying.

Thanks everyone for the continued conversations. It is always giving me the "how would I handle the situation" question and it is interesting to see the different interpretations.
