Then don't come down to NV. We don't have any culture here. We just do it right. Daryl is 100% correct on this rule. It was a team technical foul four years ago and still is today. JR, your ruling would apply if this were not following a TO or intermission, but just some regular dead ball period. Since this is following a TO what Daryl cited is the relevant rule.
While the case book play does have the 5th player returning to the court, I don't believe that this is necessary by the exact wording of the rules book (10-1-9):
"Fail to have all players return to the court at approximately the same time following a time-out or intermission."
The bottom line is that the other four players came back at a certain time and the fifth one didn't return to the court at approximately that same time.
TEAM TECHNICAL FOUL
Daryl any time you wish to work in NV just let me know.

Lemme know when you get a definitive
answer from the NFHS rules committee,
not a Nevadaref or Daryl H. Long
opinion.
Until then, I have my own opinion.
