Last night (JV, V double), the JV visitors brought 5 players to the game and in the 4th period (Home team ahead) one of the visitors fouled out. (Officials were well aware of foul counts on individual players.)

In an act of sportsmanship, the DQ'd visitor was allowed to continue participating by agreement of both coaches and one (eventually both) of the referees. (Visitors closed the score, but Home team won.)

When the player went back onto the floor, even the fans applauded the sporting move.

Okay. ...Peachy.

I was uncomfortable with the decision based upon liability.

Now, we had an illegible player we allowed. Playing outside the rules set forth by NFHS, if that player gets injured, or injures another player, everyone in charge of managing the game seems to be at risk. When I agreed to allow the player, yes, I considered my house, my home.

Thoughts?
