Travesty of the game?

[ken roberts]

Line the B players up and demand that the A players take their position ... if they refuse (team A) and continue to 'delay' it is a technical foul. I believe it is a team technical and is not charged directly or indirectly to the coach. There is no warning in this situation.

You are correct: Case 10.1.5C Play (b).

The officials cannot administer a free throw if the bottom two spaces are not occupied unless the resuming play procedure is in effect (or no one is supposed to be lined-up at all...).
