I would say that this is true. The part about entering the court illegally is plain enough, and I have no trouble calling the shot block an unsporting act. Unless, of course there is some language in the book which would somehow string the two infractions together.
Awaiting the forum's meaningful insights.

The other item that gets my attention is the use of substitute B-6. Do I assume the ball went live with Team B only having four players or did B-6 make it 6? If that is the case wouldnt we also have to many players on the cour for Team B and another T??
