Player Game Entry

Of course, PG_Ref's post makes my comment academic.



Nice citation PG_Ref.

After the warning horn, and after the subs have legally entered the court, you're allowing coaches to take players off the bench and re-enter the game?

Also, the legal substitution phase is PRIOR to the warning horn of a time-out. What lengthy process are you allowing to occur after the warning horn?
