I had a couple of questions from a game I watched tonight.

Team A is getting blown out. A1 fouls out. Coach A has a sub but she was benched by the coach for committing an intentional foul earlier. A played with four players and then three after another player fouled out. Since A has an eligible player on the bench, does the coach have to sub or can he play with 4 if he wants?

Second question. Can you sub or call a timeout after a made basket even if the clock is running?

By the book, if he has a player that can play, he's suppose to play them. However, he was obviously sitting them for a good reason. So I would of asked the coach if he wanted to sub and if he said no (because of the Int Foul) then I would of allowed him to play with 4 and then 3.

Sub no, unless a timeout is called or have some form of a whistle. Dead ball, which means all subs can come in.

If the player is eligible and able to play, she must play. But if the coach lies and tells you she's injured, there's not much you can do about it.
