I find it extremely hard to believe with 4 possible open entry points on the field for a ball to be placed back in, that at no time in 1 minute was there not a "safe opportunity" to put one back in.

And yes, this did happen in a Week 5 regional.
Several balls were popped at GTR and they were rather promptly replaced. The old balls remained on the field - one presumes the popped ball was no longer scoreable once the new ball entered play.

The defense in your example seems perfectly valid.
