Denied Entry

[ranjo]

Lets see if you think I got this right.

Following a time out and after the first warning horn I am counting the players on the court and can see 5 white team members and 4 red team members. Looking toward the red bench, I see a player standing on the court and the coach is looking at his elbow. Coach then says he has blood on him and I ask for a sub. At this point the white team coach sends a sub to the table. I allow the sub for the red team bleeder into the game, but deny entry to the white team sub because he presented himself after the warning horn.

I know there is a rule that says if a player is required by rule to be replaced, then any other entry into the game may enter also, but I believe this applies only to free throws. Also I felt that the bleeding red player had never actually entered the game at this point, and his sub should be classified as the 5th red team member and not as a sub.

Did I do it right by rule or not?
