Sitch:
B has 7 players, but two foul out.
After the 2nd player fouls out, the coach tells you he only has four eligible players because B15 has reached his maximum quarters for the day.
Are you telling me you're going to tell the coach he has to break the state participation rules? Based on what?
The rule says they have to play with 5 if they have 5 eligible players. If the coach tells me he isn't eligible, he isn't eligible.
