Don't agree with you TriggerMN. Once the sub is beckoned into the game he can't (legally) return to the bench..and the other 4 players must remian on the court. If all or any of the 5 are off the court, then technically a "tec" could be given. However, the best solution is to "put the ball in play"...i.e. resuming play procedure. The coach can talk to his players but they must "all" remain on the court. This is why the resuming play procedure, I think is the best way to go. Once the sub is beckoned onto the court, then it is up to the official(s) as to how long he let's them huddle-
once the sub is beckoned, then that team has 5 players and official(s) should put ball in play.
