Yes. And for HS ball, there's a minimum, too. If the five players don't add up to 350" (that's an average of 5' 10") for boys or 325" (5' 5") for girls, then the team is allowed to have a sixth player on the court, if the coach notifies the officials and the opposing coach at the time the linups are put into the book (10 minutes before game time). This extra person must wear a contrasting jersey (similar to a soccer goalie requirement) and must stay in 3-point territory on each side of the court.
Also, Santa is coming for a visit next week.
And in the points of emphasis, there's a footnote that says the team with 6 players gets to hang from the rim every time they slam dunk. I think they can slap the backboard without penalty also!
