R1 then tells the Coach of Team B that B25 has 5 fouls. B25 then goes to to bench. R1 tells the clock keeper to start the 15 second timer. Before B Coach has an opportunity to replace B25, R2 lets A10 shoot the first FT and it is good. B coach then tells R1 that A10 can not shoot the free throw until he has replace B25. He says that they cannot play with just 4 players. Should R allow B coach to replace B25 and not allow the first FT or should the FT count? Is there a rule for this situation?

In order:

1) The result of A1's first FTA stands.

2) Replace B25.

3) Resume play with A1's second FTA.

4) R1 gets to slap R2 upside the head with a 2x4 in the dressing room after the game.
