This really happened - not!

[Mark Padgett]

NF rules. Team A is down to one player. The officials decide to let the game continue because team A has a realistic chance of winning - they are up 50 points with less than a minute of play. A1, who is only a junior, has a "senior moment" and fouls B1 while in the act of shooting. B1 goes to the line. The officials huddle and realize team A cannot place players in both lane spots, as required by rule.

What should happen?

Of course, the odds of this really happening are about as remote as Billy Packer passing a rules test, but the board is slowing down and, since I have no real life, I thought I'd just post this for fun.

Next we'll figure out what happens if one backboard is rectangular and the other fan-shaped and if one of the coaches has a cast on his leg that sticks straight out over the court when he sits down. Oh yeah - and the cheerleaders are wearing illegal numbers.
