NFHS Rules require Team A to put five players on the court because they have five eligible players remaining. Team A must have their fifth player return from the locker room and play in the fourth quarter of the JV game. If Team A refuses to start the fourth quarter for five players, then it loses the game by forfiet (dang I hope I spelled that word correctly). There is nothing really difficult about this rule. Just enforce it.

MTD, if the coach comes back and says the 5th player has taken ill what would "you" do then? If I'm a coach and I choose to play the 4th quarter with just 4 players, I may use this tactic.
