Third, and most important, some states limit the number of quarters players play per night, if they must produce the legal sub in this sitch, that may be taking a quarter away from the varsity contest.

1. Don't make the coach lie. Some coaches will put their entire roster in the book every game even though some kids might be gone for whatever reason. A4 might have learned a relative died. A43 might have come up with pink eye.

2. If coach says they can't play, they can't play. The reason doesn't matter.

According to IAABO (not necessarily NFHS), this is illegal. Why, you may ask? NFHS 4-34-3: A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player; was given as the citation. Good grief.

Going over the rule book curled up on the couch before a crackling fire and a cup of cocoa to keep me warm, I read that you can play with one player if the officials think there is a chance for the team to win.

That said, has anyone had a game that wound up with 3, 2, or 1 player left?

Many times with four, but never less.

That motion offense with one player must be one for the ages........

Had a game with 2 remaining...and one of them had 4 fouls. They were man points ahead when they dropped below 5 and held on to win by a few. It was a middle school game.

About 7 or so years ago, I was at a CYO gaem (5th & 6th grade girls) where we were away and the home team barely had five players -- the 5th player showed up right as the warm-up countdown was reaching 0:00.

Home team had two players foul out back to back in the 4th quarter and had to finish with three. Despite having a 5 on 3 advantage for a minute and a half, we couldn't score and lost by the whopping score of 8-6.

Last summer at a college summer league semifinal, the "house team" only had players and two fouled out. Coach spent several minutes accusing me of cheating while the referees just stood there watching listening One reason out of many I will most likely never go back there again.
