6 players on the court

[teachingball]

Different situation. First, I'd do some drug testing of both coaching staff's, I have never been involved with a too many players on the court situation that would last more than 1 play. Either coach is yelling "too many players" or the other is telling their player to get off the court. Stretch? Too extreme of an example.

I'll try one more time. The officials did not realize the team had 6 on the floor when the basket was made, or they would have made the call before the basket was made. When a team has 6 players on the court, it is not always because too many came out after the timeout. A1 looks up from the bench and mistakenly counts 4 players. He realizes (incorrectly) that he should be in the game. He jumps up and runs onto the floor. Officials should make a habit of counting the number of players after the timeout, but, like anything else, this can be overlooked or a mistake can be made. When the official does see 6 on the floor, he will have no way of knowing when the extra player appeared.

Wow, sorry Ref.

I thought it was already established that I understand the ruling, I just don't agree with it, and I was just pointing out, what I feel is a rule that doesn't seem right. Doesn't make sense. You don't see my point?

I'm no longer asking the original question, but discussing the topic.

Okay, I see your point. My point is you have not suggested an alternative to the rule as written.
