Is there any significance to ASA calling the FLEX in this situation an "illegal player" instead of an "illegal substitute"?

Good question. Are you asking, or leading/baiting me?

I would say so; this application doesn't meet the definition of a "substitute".

A substitute is a player not listed in the starting line-up, or a player that left the game and re-enters. In this case, this was the starting FLEX, and, so long as she played defense, never left the game.
