Too many quarters

[frezer11]

From what I understand, the officials were made aware of the situation after the fact by a team B assistant who was keeping the book, who apparently also did the JV game. The home team didn't say anything about why they needed a sub. I think I would've tried to let the sub in if I knew what the deal was, but if the opposing coach was aware and/or upset, then I'm making the home team take a TO. Never seen a score of 2-0 reported until now!

Honestly, if I'm never told why they need to make the sub, I can't adjust.

If I'm told they need a sub because A15 is no longer eligible, I'm going to allow the sub. I think the spirit of the rules allow for this, just as they'd allow us to sub out a player who managed to DQ himself, injured himself or got blood on his jersey in the middle of the timeout.

OTOH, if they sub him out at this point, it may already be too late.

Just tell the coach to punch the player in the nose.

Here's what we are to do in my state. We are supposed to remove the player as soon as we are made aware that they are playing in their 7th quarter. There is no in game penalty, but we are supposed to fill out a form. I am allowing a sub, even if they are late to the table.

So it is the officials' responsibility to keep track of that? That seems odd, but each state is different I suppose. The team that had to forfeit won the game that night by 30 or so, tough break

Actually, they lost by 2.

I doubt that, but perhaps they just take the coach's word for it. I'd only take the word of the coach of that player. Opposing coach doesn't get to dictate this, IMO (unless the state says otherwise).
