I've never had just one player left, but I have thought about situations where I'd let it happen. There needs to be a fairly big lead but remember, there's no automatic violations. He could throw the ball in down court and then chase it down, needing a defender to just touch it. The defense may think about letting it go, but if the clock is running (after a made basket), they may want to score ASAP. On a missed shot, anything is fair game. If the team with only one player is behind, automatic game over. No discussion regardless of the quality of the player and the lack of quality of the opponent.
I've had as few as three left, but I don't remember how many they started with -- probably 6 or 7. The opposing coach made a classy gesture in only sending out 3 of her own, but we told her she had to have 5 on the court. Where they stand or what they do is up to her, but do not allow either team to make a mockery of the game.
