This raises a discussion I believe we may have had last year. To what degree is the official responsible to be sure that there are 5 from each team on the court. I always try to count players before the ball is put in play, but I don't see this listed as a general responsibility of the official.
In Brian's situation above, to what degree is the official responsible for checking the number of players on the court before starting play?
