Minnesota Officials?
I may be off base here but I seem to remember here in Minnesota (yes we are the state who bucks the Fed with 18 min halves, monitor usage at State Tournament games, visitors wear white) a number of years ago, before I started officiating, a player could stay in the game after his 5th foul. Subsequent fouls by that player resulted in 2 free throws plus the ball (l don't remember but I think it was at the division line). I don't recall there was limit on how many additional fouls a player could get and keep playing as long as his team was willing to pay the price.
I admit I am somewhat vague on the details, and exactly when this was used and how long it continued. This was definitely back in my fanboy days so I plead fan ignorance on the exact rule. Any old-time MN officials recall the details better than me?
