Does NFHS really allow a team to play with one player? In FIBA rules if you have 2 players and one fouls out, gets injured etc, then that team forfeits. With only one player it would be impossible to inbound the ball legally etc....

A team may play with one only in the case where the officials believe that team still has an opportunity to win. Obviously that team would have to have a considerable lead and/or have very little time left in the game.

Impossible?
Bounce it off an opponent.

Let an opponent shoot and get a rebound, then dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble..., for three minutes? For 15 seconds?
