Bart is so right! Rule 10, Section 1, Article 6, "A team shall not have more than five squad members participating simultaneously." At every camp I've been to, there is always a lecture on counting the number of substitutes that come in and the number of players that go out to make sure they're equal. It has also been stressed to make sure you know what number the players are wearing that leave the court so they don't re-enter illegally. Dead ball efficiency. Both the lead and the trail in this situation should have taken a count prior to putting the ball in regardless of who beckoned the substitutes into the game. Both officials are at fault here. As for when a substitute becomes a player and when a player leaving the game becomes bench personnel, see rule 4, Section 34, Articles 1,2,3.
