Substitution Error !!!

I would blow the play dead and accept responsibility for not "doing my job" and ask a B coach to choose the player than should come off. [If A wants to make a match-up substitution, all the power to him.] Then give a throw-in for the team last in possession.
However, if we have alot of pressure or we're in the frontcourt, the ability to inbound and set up offense became an advantage. At that point, although *I* still think it's the official's fault, you have to go with the T because, yes, "each head coach is ultimately responsible".

Can't agree at all with you.
What do you do,in the first case, when Coach A says "why isn't that a T, Ref?"? You have to be consistent, and you also have to call these situations by the rule book. Being "Mr Nice Guy" can get your a$$ in a sling, Mike, when you start making up your own rules. Yes, the officials should have caught it. No, the officials didn't catch it. Just make the proper call, and move on. Advantage/disadvantage was never meant to apply to situations like this.
The "each coach is ultimately responsible" theorem doesn't change if the situations happen to be slightly different. The bottom line is that team B had 6 players on the court, and that's a T. [/B]

I agree with Jurassic Ref on this one, there are two officials on the floor. I would bite the bullet on this one, its ours fault!
