It's part of the case play in 3.2.2 that bob jenkins posted in this thread. Snaqs is right.

So if A15 reports but has not been added yet, as long as the ball doesn't become live the coach does not have to add him yet and can sit him back down and then either add him later or keep him on the bench? Do I have that right?
