This happen:
Whistle OOB, dead ball. There is a sub at the table however no one sees him/her. The player (A5) assumes he/she has been subed for and goes off the court (there could of been a T here, but it wasn't called). Now, 4 players for one of the teams, the player who went to the bench comes back on and everything is fine. Play continued and the sub came in at the next dead ball. ------So if you passed on the first one for leaving the court, 10.3.3 states a T should be called for A5 coming back onto the court.
-However-, IF the sub would have came on during a dead ball and then the ball became live, you've got nothing, he/she is now a legal player. But, I had someone tell me that if you had a running clock (live ball) and she went off the court and the sub at the table came onto the floor with a running clock that there's no call due to a running clock. I disagree, wouldn't that be a T on the sub for coming onto the floor and a T on the player for going off? Also, wouldn't it be the same (2 T's) if the player who went off did so during a dead ball and then her ran onto the court after the ball became live?
