Vacation, unemployed, independently wealthy, bored, retired, or don't have a life. Which one is it? Unfortunately, for me, it's the last one.

No, no, not even close, yes, no, no. It's just that for once, I actually had specific knowledge / dare I say expertise on something being discussed here.

Not to hijack the thread, but this happened in our game this week, 4.4 seconds left in the game, Team A leads Team B by 3 points. Team B calls a timeout. At the the conclusion of the timeout Team B sends a player onto the court who has never been in the game and has not reported at the scorer's table. Does s/he become a legal substituion when the ball is inbounded?

Situation:

Player A1 is fouled and shooting 2 FT's. Four players from A's bench go to the table for substitution. After the first free throw the four players are beckoned onto the floor and replace all other A players except A1. After A1 has the ball at his disposal for the second free throw, A coach sends another bench player to the table for substitution. A1 makes the free throw.

Do you beckon the player at the table onto the court? Do you find out who that player is replacing before beckoning?

Just wondering what sort of protocol should be used in this situation.

Yes. No. The same "protocol" you use on any other sub. The last sub in the sequence presented can replace any player from that team -- not just A1.

No time went off the clock, so how can any of the other A players be replaced?

Umm.. by having a sub come in for them. There's no requirement for a sub to play a certain period of time.

... a replaced player coming back in. If A1 was substituted for, say by A6, then A1 has to sit until the clock starts. That doesn't mean that A7 can't come in for A6, and then A8 for A7, and A9 for A8... all during the same stoppage.

...sooner. If entry is not legal, the substitute becomes a player when the ball becomes live. So, on a throw-in the ball becomes live when...
