I've got bigger fish to fry, to be honest.

What we were talking about at this point was a substitute reporting, being beckoned, entering, and walking to the end line for an end line throw in. Then the coach changing his mind. There is no timeout involved.

If the coach sends a sub in and at this point there are 6 players on the court and the coach changes his mind and says oops i want that sub back on the bench I'm ok with that. If a player has walked off the court and the coach changes his mind, then the sub can leave but the player that stepped off has to wait and a new player must be made available.

1. By definition there cannot ever be six players for one team. Five is the maximum.
2. You are making up your own rule for the player departing. The NFHS rule has been quoted several times in this thread. Your thinking as an official is just pathetic.
