H.S. Admin Tech. Player not in the book.
 

Team B is winning by 30 pts with 4mins left in the game. B32 commits a fouls and A4 is at the line for the bonus. A4 misses the FT and the scorers table is waving the official over as the shot is in there air. Now team B has control of the ball and the official kills the play thinking that they were saying B32 has 5 personal fouls and is disqualified. Instead they say that (A) 32 was never in the book or (B) had the wrong number when the officials goes over to the table to see whats the matter. What is the correct ruling??

Is there something here which you find strange? :confused:

No I almost did it college status with POI. Caught myself before we shot ft's as we were discussing how and what we were going to do.

In a game with a 30 point spread, this is a great opportunity for the coach to learn the consequences of not properly doing his roster. He can't really be upset when he is winning by so much.

BTW I should have added that you should check what the team/coach submitted to the scorer and go with that. If the scorer made an error in the transcription (skipped that kid or miswrote his number), then the team doesn't suffer.
