I'm afraid you lost me -- which is not so hard these days 10.1.8 refers to a throw-in, but I do see your analogy to "resulting from confusion." Also, I see your reference to rule 2-3, which is applicable, but it leaves open the possibility of different rulings for different officials. I am really curious to see how the officials here would respond to this situation specifically, i.e., how would you handle this scenario?
Thanks.

Joe,
Because there was no out-right refusal to put the 5th player on the floor, I will let them play, unpenalized, until the next dead ball. If challenged, I will respond with "I'm sorry! ...no clear rule, no clear advantage, no penalty".

If this problem occurred on my floor, it would be entirely my fault, and no one else's fault.

Seems like all I do during the game is silently count, count, count, count ....
