In the consolation game of a girls jr. high tourney several years ago, a local team had a substantial (for girls jr. high) lead in the fourth quarter when they began to run out of players. They got down to a single player with about a minute left, and still led by six. Coach called time. Told his remaining player to get in the way as much as possible without fouling, then after the score by the opponent, take the ball out of bounds, count to four, then heave it deep toward her own front court. Girl did what she could, but the opponents managed to tie the game just before the buzzer. All parties involved agreed that overtime was not an option. Winning team received the consolation trophy, then presented it to the single remaining player from the losing team.
