Rule 8-2: The free throw(s) awarded because of a personal foul shall be attempted by the offended player. If such player must withdraw because of an injury or disqualification, his/her substitute shall attempt the throw(s) unless no substitute is available, in which case any teammate may attempt the throw(s) as selected by the team captain or head coach.

"Withdraw" is used to differentiate between the "five team members that are legally on the court at any given time" and other "bench personnel". See 4-34-1,2,3. It is not meant to infer the status of a team member, in regards to his/her eligibility to participate as a player.

Case Book 3.1.1 uses this simple definition of "withdraw."
