We were told to disregard if the player comes in away from the play. In no way can you call this IS. It's either IP or it's nothing.

You're right, I didn't like my answer, was researching the book but had to run for pizza. IS is only for the 12th man that doesn't get off the field, simultaneous with the snap. Actually, I quoted the exact comment revision on the NFHS website. They don't want people that accidentally or inadvertently step onto the field to get hit with IP, but they do want someone that enters to join the play banged whether they actually get in the play or not. They did not delete or modify the wording of 9.6.4 Situation C so entering the field intentionally, regardless of whether you get in on the play, is IP. My bad for trying to stretch it IS.
