17U AAU game - hotly contested, semi-final of national qualifier
Black ready to inbound. As they bring in the ball, bench and crowd erupts with screams of "six men on the floor". Chaos ensues. Black races up the floor, six-on-five, makes a basket. Play stops. Sixth player runs off the floor. Officials see what's transpired, call a tech on black. White coach asks if basket counts. Official tells the coach, since the basket was scored before the officials noticed the problem, the basket counted. White coach sends three or four benchwarmers on the floor, and asks the official if he noticed that. Coach invited to sit the rest of the game.

My 2 cents: this is typical AAU coach behavior. If he would have just kept his mouth shut he would have traded 2 points for 2 FTs and the ball with an opportunity for 2 or 3 more points. But he couldn't resist the urge to act like an @ss, even during this "hotly contested, semi-final of national qualifier" so he ended up trading FTs & losing the ball to his opponent. And he should count himself lucky, if I was working that game each of those benchwarmers would have earned a T for coming on unbeckoned.
Brilliant coaching, eh?
