If a player is fouled and injured and can't shoot his free throws, does his sub shoot for him or can anyone of his teammates that were already on the court shoot for him? Thanks

The substitute must shoot the free throws.

Thanks, thats what I thought, but I saw this happen 2 times in a high school game last week and a player that was already out on the court shot both times, yep and he made all 4.

What if there is no eligible sub available?

As mentioned -in NFHS the sub shoots...

NBA rules have it done differently and there are a lot of guys who see the TV and try and follow NBA ( and still get it wrong) but if I recall off the top of my head...

NBA

"T"-a player in game (or player beckoned) can shoot.

Injured player cannot shoot-opposing coach chooses eligible subsititute and injured player does not return to the game. If the foul was unsportsmanlike (flagrant 2) his own coach chooses any eligible player and injured player can reenter.

What if the only eligible substitute just came out of the game for a substitute, and has not yet sat a tick. It is my understanding that this is an exception to the rule "must sit a tick", which in this case is trumped by "must play with five players".

We used 3-3-4 the other night.

A1 was replaced by A5. B55 entered for B4
A1 sat and A5 was on the floor. B4 sat and B55 was on the floor.
Technical of jersey number [B55 shown as B50] was called on Team B.
Coach A wanted A1 to shoot, but we made him choose another player.

Must play with five??? I have never heard of that. You can play with less than five.
