From a FIBA perspective - this sitch can't possibly happen.

Under FIBA rules a team MUST have two players on the court, or else they forfeit (regardless of score).

Which leads me to ask - has anyone had a game where one team has been left with just one player? I had a game a few years ago that went into 5 periods of extra time and both teams were left with 3 players on the court (one team started with 8, one with 9 players). Thankfully a player hit the winning free-throw with about 2 seconds to go, thus preventing it from going into a 6th OT!

Anyone had something similar? Does anyone know what the record is for periods of OT?
