If I ever have an issue with a player who is heading to the bench, I sincerely hope that it is obvious who is leaving the game and who isn't. When it isn't we have a tough decision to make. If I ever have to make that decision, I am going to apply what is written in the book, not go by a rule of thumb.

That's the point I was trying to make.

All true. I'm all for going what what is written in the book. But the question still remains....how do you know which player is leaving the game when a substitute comes in? There is no rule in the book that indicates this. So, you're left with a rule of thumb...consider them all players until it is obvious who is going/has gone out....when they step OOB and sit down.
