Kid went and sat on the bench, then "remembered" he was in the game and was "miraculously" (sp) open at the other end for a easy cherry picked layup.
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?
We started with 5. He sat down, whuch I have no problem with as long as he is down until the next deadball. But, he came back and got an easy bucket.

Wack.
