No, that's not his call, Bush. If he has a uniformed player on the bench that's healthy and physically able to play, he had to play with 5. If they're inelgibile to play, they shouldn't be dressed.

I disagree. You can't force him to play someone that he intentionally didn't put in the book. If you're gonna coach for him, you may as well hand him a whistle and let him blow every call he thinks you missed.

I'm not coaching for him, smarta$$.
I'm following the rules, as they are written. If he has 5 healthy available players, he has to have 5 on the floor.
|
If he ain't in the book, as far as I'm concerned, he ain't available. What if the same player that was suspended for attending an unsavory function the night before is on the bench in streetclothes. He's still a "healthy, available player." You gonna wait for him to go to the locker room and get his uniform on?

Wrong again. If he's not in a uniform, I have no idea who he is, do I? Players wear uniforms. If he's not in uniform, he's not a player. I couldn't care less who he is or why he's there.
