8.3 SITUATION:

A technical foul is issued prior to the start of the game and the
game begins with free throws. Non-starter, A6, is brought in to the game to attempt
the free throws and replaces starter A5. RULING: Legal substitute. The ball
becomes live to start the game when placed at A6’s disposal. A6 and A5 are subject
to proper substitution rules. A5 may not re-enter until the next opportunity to

substitute after the clock has been properly started. (3-2-2a; 3-3-4)

Thanks, NV. I knew it was in the Case somewhere... just have kept reading - I wasn't too far off.
