FIBA Substitutions
Hi All,
Just after some clarification to a situation that occurred in our local competition on Friday night.
Team A has no substitutes sitting on their bench, and is playing on the court with 5 players. Coach requests that we sub one of their players off onto the bench so that he can talk to him.
I believe this is not allowed, as it places the opposing team at a disadvantage (by resting on of their players)... however my partner makes the decision that this can happen.
I am aware that a substitution can only be requested by a player, so the coaches request should have been denied anyway, but my partner overlooked this...
Can anyone clarify whether this sub is allowed or not, overlooking Article 19.3.1?
