I agree that the story is weird and the 4 on 5 never should have happened in the first place. There could be more to the story, but I've
heard several accounts of it and they're all pretty consistent with what I posted in the OP.
Anyone else have anything??

2-12 Timer's Duties
Art 5...Sound a warning signal 15 seconds before the expiration of the 20 seconds (maximum) permitted for replacing a disqualified or injured player, or for a player directed to leave the game.
1. Using that I'd give them 20 seconds to replace the player, then issue a technical foul if the coach doesn't in 20 seconds. This is assuming he doesn't take a timeout to "buy" his player back into the game.
2. Correct. We aren't playing 4 v 5 if there's an eligible substitute available.
3. Correct in that is isn't a technical foul to play with four players. This is only true under NBA rules.
