johnny,

While this isn't the NBA, we certainly CAN dump them for leaving the bench to participate in a fight/physical confrontation. The pertinent rule is not 3-3-1a or j, it's 3-3-1q.

In this case, after the rule-prescribed ejections, there would not have been enough participants left to "Play Ball".
