That is a bench Technical for a player illegally entering the court. It's is charged directly to the player and indirectly to the coach. Six players on the court is a Team Technical charged when plays resumes with 6 players on the court, or you notice 6 players on the court but didn't see the extra player enter. In this case you saw the player jump of the bench and illegally enter the game while the ball was live.

He didn't jump off bench, he ran off court when we noticed we had six and then right back on when he thought he was supposed to be in. But, I do see the difference. Not that it matters but this was a 7th grade game.

And bc it will matter as I go further, isn't getting the right number of players why we count? If there are six, does everyone get the extra players off floor or just issue a T? My understanding is that we don't resume play until we have the five on five??

Again, I appreciate the counseling. I can read the book until my eyes cross but I do feel this forum helps me apply what I read.


I wish I had a cool signature
