  • Count 'em, count 'em again, and then count them a third time to make sure there are really six.
  • Blow your whistle, raising your fist is technically required but seldom done.
  • Now everybody is looking at you, turn to the offending coach and say, "Coach, you've got six on the floor."
  • Hustle to the FRA and inform the book that you have a T on white/black/whomever.
  • Turn to the non-offending coach and ask, "Coach, who will shoot your free throws?"
  • Administer the free throws like you would for any other T situation
  • Administer the throw-in at the half line, opposite the table
  • Mutter at yourself under your breath for having allowed them to start with six to begin with
