On a related note...at a hoops facility that I ref games at...They have a house league and it's teams that are usually made up of some AAU kids and kids that play on their school teams....Pretty competitive but for all intense purposes...it's a summer/rec league.

8th grade game...very tight game in the 3rd Q..we have a foul on B15...as my partner reports it the scorer notifies him that it's his 5th foul? We inform the coach and he questions the number of fouls....said there was no way that #15 could have fouled out.....Well....Turns out they had two kids on the team with the same number jersey and different colored shorts...

Partner and I discussed with both coaches and what the penalty should be....Team A Coach was cool about it and actually offered up that we charge 3 fouls to the kid in the game and 2 on the kid on the bench. We grabbed some masking tape and made one of them #18 for the balance of the game.

Worked out well for everyone although it was not by the book....It's summer/rec ball after all...and I agree with what tmp44 just posted...That's on me and my partner even at this level...
