I dont have my books with me, but considering he has 30 seconds to replace the dq'ed player, I would say it would be a T.

Be careful with this one. Who gets to determine if the players are, in fact, eligible to play? I don't want to be the one making that decision. Maybe the coach decided the player is too injured to play. Or the player mouthed off and the coach suspended him/her for the remainder of the game. I'm not going to tell the coach they have to play that player because they look ok to me.

M&M I think you are right to a point. If the coach tells me the eligible player is injured there is no way I force him to play. But, if he is being benched by the coach for a reason other than injury I would inform the coach he must play.
