3.2.2 SITUATION B: Three minutes before the game starts, it is discovered: two Team B team members are wearing the same number. RULING: A technical foul is charged to Team B upon discovery of the identical numbers. Only one team member may wear a given number; the other must change to a number not already in use before participating. (10-1-2)
OK. Let's say that you're checking the book, pregame, at the twelve minute mark, and discover duplicate numbers. You approach the coach, and he doesn't have any extra jerseys. Besides erasing one of the numbers before the ten minute mark, what are his other options? Let's say that he refuses to erase one of the numbers, even after the ten minute mark, now what happens after the technical foul is charged? Can either player play?
