substitution ?

Pretty close, Mark.
When the sub is beckoned the player, for whom the substitution is made becomes bench personnel. That removed player may not enter.

If the sub is not beckoned that sub is not a player, during a dead ball.

True.

However, there are a few mitigating circumstances.

First, the post does not indicate that the sub was beckoned.

Second, even if the player was beckoned, do we have a record of for whom he/she is substituting? (See the 'beginning-of-the-third-quarter' threads.)

Third, let's assume A1 is the replaced player, A6 is the 'original' sub, and A7 is the 'new' sub. Once A6 is beckoned, A1 is out, but A7 can still replace A6.
