Team A has the ball in their frontcourt, and team B is playing man-to-man defense. All 10 players are in the frontcourt, and the trail is being a good trail and is behind the 'last' player.

B1 steals the ball, and before anyone can turn to run, throws a long pass to B6 who is standing right underneath B's basket for an easy layup.

What do you have?

(To play devil's advocate, if the refs take a second to realize what's going on, and the ball goes in before the whistle, do you still count the basket?)
If the officials do not realize what's going on, and the ball goes in before the whistle, I would have to say that B6's field goal attempt is counted and charge Team B with a technical foul for having too many players on the court.

That's consistent with rule 10-1-6, as well as casebook play 10.1.6. The penalty is assessed if the infraction is discovered while being violated.

Would be nice if we could figure out a way to wave off the basket too, but.......
