[Shades of Gray]

I'm not sure what you guys mean by "it is written". Are you referring to the Federation rulebook?

If so, then doesn't the fact that if it is written that the team's basket is the one farthest from their bench directly conflict with the casebook play quoted as 5.2.1F?

By the way, the final score of the game was 48-47, so you could say this had a significant impact.
