Tech before game- sub free throw shooter

Remember there is no restriction on a player leaving the game only on someone entering. So unless the player is a designated jumper or free thrower, he can depart on any dead ball.

For your specific question, if designated starter A1 is injured prior to the game, then A6 may replace him without penalty. If a technical foul happens prior to the jumpball, then A6 could be replaced by A7 immediately if A7 is going to attempt either of the FTs. If a personal foul or violation occurs after the ball becomes live on the jumpball, but before it ends, then A7 may replace A6 or any other starter (provided this player is not a designated FT shooter or jumper) immediately during that dead ball period and does not have to attempt any FTs.
