There is not one basketball official here that has not had at least one game in his/her career where he/she has discovered a team playing with six players and each and every time that has happened we all have only charged the team with a technical foul for having too many players on the court; there were no other technical fouls involved.

Mark,
There's a big difference. In every case I've ever seen and heard of involving 6 players; there was no illegal entry involved. In virtually every case, the coach subs in a player and the intended player never leaves the court (or returns to the court with the subbing player after a timeout.) This is not the same situation, since we have a player entering illegally (unnoticed) and then playing with the other 5.

Dan, would you like some butter?
