That was the whole point. He has been in the game. If nobody subbed for him, he's still a player, whether he's on the court or not.

But we know you will not ever act like you have been around people discussing anything that is not always black and white.

True, all rules questions are not black and white, but this one is.

The way I read this the ball was dead during a timeout or something and the player entered the court after the ball was made live. The "player" was not on the court legally at the time they entered the court. If that is not what he was saying, then OK but not how I read the OP.
