In a gesture of fair play, the coach of Team B indicates a desire to withdraw a player so that each team will have four players on the court. RULING: This is not permissible. Team B must have five players participating as long as it has that number available. If no substitute is available, a team must continue with fewer than five players. When only one player remains to participate, that team shall forfeit the game unless the referee believes this team still has an opportunity to win the game.

While NFHS R3-S1-A1 (has been in the Rules since the beginning of Time, lol, including the NBC and NCAA Men's Rules) is the governing Rule for CB Play 8.2B, it is my opinion that NFHS CB Play 3.1.1 (which has been in the Case Book for decades) pertains to the NOTE in R3-S1-A1 and is not a supporting Case Book Play for CB Play 8.2B.
