I know this will meet with some resistance from officials, but part of the problem is the lakidasical way players exit the court when subbed for. The official determining the number of players on the floor must wait a period of time before counting each team substituting. many times it is as much as 10 seconds.

If there was a 5 second count, and then the official counted the number of players on the floor, he or she could administer a penalty for more than 5 players to the offending team. This would place more burden on the coaching staff to get the players off quickly.

after a short time coaches would train the kids to get off quickly, and we would have less problems to deal with.
