So the "rule of thumb" that a team cannot play with less than five players when five are available is ignored? So, there are only two alternatives here? The fifth player enters the court and does not gain an advantage by doing so, which is ignored by the official? Or, the fifth player enters the court by deceitful means, and gains an immediate advantage, at which point the official charges a technical foul? Again, these are not substitutions after a timeout, so under what rule would a technical foul be charged? I don't have any answers here, I'm just looking for some help in trying to "wrap my arms" around this situation. Can we please continue this discussion?
