An officiating friend asked this question and I thought that I would share it. This happened to him in a jr. high girls game. Team A only has 6 players. A1 just received her 5th foul but the table did not notify the calling official. Team B is in the bonus shooting a 1 & 1. A6 enters the game as a sub. for A3, (not A1). Just prior to the official administering the first foul shot the horn blows to notify that A1 has 5 fouls. My friend would not allow A3 to return and sub for A1 until after the clock has legally started. My comment was that since this was an administration error, I would let A3 return and replace A1. This one is not in the case book. Any opinions?
