Please answer. YES or NO.


The fact that there are 6 players on the floor is the officials fault in this context:

Proper game management includes not allowing substitutes to enter until beckoned. Do you agree?
Trail usually beckons them on. When you are Trail in this situation do you hold the stop clock sign until the substituted personnel exit the floor?

If there are 6 players on the floor when you follow this procedure, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? The only way this happened, either you did not properly count or didn't bother to count. YOUR FAULT.
While I feel it's my responsibility to count players and do my best to avoid the situation, it's not MY FAULT if it does happen. I don't get the technical foul, after all.

This happens about once every two seasons with me. I don't lose sleep over it. Whack, shoot, move on.
