If coach B would have told me, "I will have B6 replace B1 instead of having B6 replace B2. Plus, I still want B7 to replace B3 while I now leave B2 in the game (or vice versa)." Everything would have come out how I had intended in the beginning of the whole mess.
Please understand that I'm not picking a fight with you. But your mistake was not allowing B6 & B7 into the game. Think about it. Allow the 2 subs to enter the game. B1, who fouled out, and B2 leave the floor. Now we're ready to play. I understand that you didn't understand the previously reported player sitch. But all of the conversation that you want to have with the coach is unnecessary. Sooner or later a conversation with a coach, after you've called foul #5, will get you and the coach is hot water. He doesn't need to tell you anything. He just needs 5 legal players on the floor before his 30 seconds are up.

If I would have allowed B6 & B7 into the game before the coach replaced B1, then AS I ALREADY STATED, B2 & B3 would have returned to the bench. Coach B, after finding out that B1 had committed his 5th foul, wanted B2 to stay in the game! (i.e. subbing 2 for 2)
In your scenario, B2 would have been on the bench & not eligible to re-enter the game at that point. Therefore, coach B would have had to substitute 3 for 3.
Again, I know how I'll handle it next time...
