Substitution Question

[Dubby]

First off it says 'when the ball becomes alive'. To me, that assumes that ball had to be dead at the time the player entered the court.

Secondly, it still doesn't address the situation of the sub not being beckoned onto the court.

The T would be for the illegal substitution, not having 6 on the court. If you were to keep reading 4-34-4 it also says "A player becomes bench personnel after his/her sub becomes a player". If that sub is now legal then whoever he's replacing would now be considered bench personnel. Either way, you can only have 5 legal players on the court. After that, whoever is left is considered bench personnel.

On page 76 under bench personnel it clearly says "entering without permission"....charged indirectly to the HC.
