Player on court might shove each other. If have to see that before declaring it a fight. A7 comes off of the bench. Has no business being there. And he shoves someone. You can say he participates or actually starts fight.
It is strange but rule/cases are pretty clear. There is a difference in penalizing if player just comes off bench or comes off and participates.
If 3 blue come off bench and don’t fight and 3 white come off bench and do fight...Players leaving bench are equal and be no FTs. However, blue gets one indirect T because he had 3 players leave Bench.
White team coach gets 3 indirects because he had 3 leave bench and participate. No FTs but white team coach is ejected. (3 indirect T)
You would think blue get more FTs because, while there players came off bench, they didn’t participate. Not what rule says. Coach is penalized w more indirects when bench player comes off AND participates.
