Should Team B not be forced to play with four for a few seconds following B4's stupidity?


Doesn't seem right to me.

One rule has nothing to do with the other. B4 is penalized for his own stupidity. This should be penalty enough, without penalizing the team further because of injury, which we all know is "considered to be an extenuating and unavoidable situation."
