Yeah, you're right. I suppose if i let 6 players on the court and i cant figure it out without the scorer/timer getting me to stop the game and telling me.....then i probably deserve what happens next.... tell the opposing coach "i see 6 now...but i didnt then...so i cant penalize...". just dont let it happen..
