I've also seen games where they just play with the disqualified player but the coach just says they forfeit the game anyway, and they just continue to be nice and have fun.

I did not say the game could end with 4 players based on a Referee's decision. Actually the game could end if the coach does not want to continue, they would just have a forfeit the game at that point. The Referee at some point has the right to end the game if one player is left. The game can continue with one player only if the Referee believes the team has a chance to win the game. That was all I was saying. You read too much into what I said. I was not trying to quote the rule, just tried to explain if the game continues you have to play with 4 players (or 3 or 2) and there cannot be substitutions with disqualified players.
