To be precise, Basketball is played with 12 men on the roster, and 3 reserves.
First 5 is starters which opens the game, then there are sixth until tenth man which is primary substitute. 11th to 12th is for conditional or role player. They may play or not to play at all. and 13th to 15th is benchwarmers that won't ever play unless there's an injury and to replace any of the twelves (usually goes to 12th or any lowest position it needed).
Before Ryan burned the bridges, Coach put Keith head-to-head with Ryan, which irritated Ryan before. Now, without Ryan in the roster, Keith will guaranteed to at least keep 12th spot even if Sean comes back. So in short, Keith is already permanently added to the team, even if he is merely role player (that can play, nor not to play at all).
