Who can enter the game after H6 enters? Before two free throws, can anybody enter, at any time, up until the point where the free thrower has the ball at his disposal?

If the sub is waiting, bring him in when the disqualified player's replacement reports.

If we are ready to administer FT#1, then leave the sub until the next shot.

As someone already mentioned, these rules were changed for speed, so don't delay what we're doing. In all, who really cares when somebody is in. All they are doing is standing along the lane.

So any substitution after the disqualified player's replacement reports must wait until after the first of two free throws? Sounds good, but, per my usual modus operandi, citation please?

3-3-1-C: EXCEPTION: When a player is required by rule to be replaced prior to administering the free throw(s), then all other substitutes who have legally reported may also enter the game.

A6 is waiting at the table. B1 commits his 5th foul. When B6 comes to enter for B1, allow A6 to enter due to 3-3-1-C-Exc.

After that and when we are ready to allow A1 to soot, A7 comes to the table. I say that A7 should wait because the exception says "have legally reported" which means that they would have had to legally report prior to the other player being replaced. Maybe mbyron can check my sentence breakdown of that exception.

I don't think this is a big deal. If you make them wait, they still just come in for the final FT. If you let them in, they get to stand there while somebody else shoots. Any reason why we are getting picky over it?

Because for many or us, maybe even most of us, it's the off season, and we somehow have to keep the neurons in the basketball rules, interpretations, and mechanics, part of our brain, alive.
