Too bad the search function is down. We've had some long discussions on this type of play. Having a sub doing it is different, though. The other threads used a player off of the bench.

If it's a legal block with no contact, there's nothing to call there. So, go to Plan B. Award a technical foul for a sub entering the court without being beckoned(R10-2), plus a second T for having more than 5 team members participating simultaneously(R9-1-6). They are two separate acts. Give team A 4 FT's for the 2 T's.

There is a solution to this play, but it is not your solution. I would charge B6 with a technical foul for entering the court illegally. The technical foul for this infraction does not cause the ball to become dead because of continuous motion. When B6 blocks A1's shot, B6 can be charged with a second technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct for interfering with A1's field goal attempt.
