Work enough middle school games and "stuff" happens. All of a sudden six team members are playing in the game, as if the extra player fell from the rafters.

All 3 officials have their backs to the bench missing illegal subs, but are sharp enough to recognize in the split second between a made basket and disposal that there are 6 men on the court?

Are you going to keep on coming up with scenarios to satisfy your fixation?

"Stuff" happens, especially in middle school games in "Two Person Connecticut".

A head coach will certainly be glad to lend the officials a hand here. It's pretty hard to ignore a screaming coach.

That's why I always carried a roll of duct tape in my bag.
