This was a Large School Varsity game - suburban school (playing w/four) versus inner city school. The coach who wanted to play with four is in his first year of coaching. Oh, and they were playing at home.
The official that had this presented to him chose to just finish the game and not make an issue out of it. The assistant coach was very adamant about not wanting the coach to go through with the idea. I have not heard any rumblings from the school. If I was a parent of a player, I'd be very upset with the coaches antics. The AD at this school used to be the head basketball coach. Will be interesting to see if he is suspended or terminated for his actions. I believe it is a slap in the face to every player on the bench and to the game of basketball.
