Got a citation for that? A definition of "replacement" in Rule 4? I don't see one.

You can't read to much into the word "replacement," The rule didn't say the number the replacement, it just says replacement.

I don't think I'm reading anything into the word "replacement", except its everyday common-sense definition. If I replace you, I'm your replacement. If Nevadaref replaces me, he's my replacement; not yours. Just ask yourself, "Who did he come in for?" Nevadaref didn't come in for you.

I don't think I'm over-analyzing anything. I'm just reading it. I just think the rule is worded VERY badly.

I agree with Scrapper, the wording is not very good and the spirit of the rule could easily be misconstrued by less savvy than those of us who reside on the board.

I suppose this could be written better. However I've never had a problem with it the way it is now. If it had to be the exact # that came in then AR 57 wouldn't be in the book.

Huh? AR 57 deals with a player coming in to shoot the free throws and then subbing out before the clock starts.

We're talking about a player subbing out and then coming back in before the clock starts. Apples and rutebegas.

A6 enters and replaces A1. Before the clock starts, A6 commits his / her 5th foul and is DQ'd.

If the rule is taken literally, then A1 can never reenter. Clearly that's not the intent, so the literal reading must be wrong.

Exactly my point, Bob. Gotta change it.

Go to Eofficials follow the NCAA link and print of the rule change form and send it in.

I didn't even know there was such a thing. I'm headed there right now!

Right,. If A6 comes in for A1 then the AR would have to say that A7 can come in for A6 but that would prevent A1 from playing until A6 re enters
