Disagree. Sometimes you count correctly, and then you look up and there are 6 on the floor. Players and coaches have strange ideas, and this T is not always a failure of game management. :shrug:

Bob had the best line in another thread, about how officials have a duty to count before putting the ball in play, but that it was the coaches' responsibility to have the right number on the court.
