6 players on the court
I need help understanding a call made yesterday:
Coming out after a timeout, Team A had 6 players on the court. Team A proceeded to score on the in bounds play. Referees then realize 6 players were on the court during the play and gave Team A a technical foul and that the points would not be removed from the score. Their explaination was that it was their fault and that they were sorry they didn't recognize the 6 players for Team A, but once the play started Team B had to live with the results.
(BTW - Team B coach was screaming they had 6 players on the court from the time the official handed the ball to Team A).
What is the proper call here?
