What I should've done, but my hand was up for routine counting -- NOT because I knew there were six on the floor. Since my partner was in such a hurry, I assumed incorrectly that he had counted the players and I dropped my hand in deference.
Wrong move.
Once the ball came on the court, it was probably five seconds before I heard someone mention the six players. Then I counted again.
The sixth player didn't legally play the entire game. I wonder what made him think he was in the game.
Ugh.
Live and learn. And be aggressive about keeping the hand up and the ball dead until *I'm* ready.
