Earrings Question

The sub should not shoot the FTs. Normally, when a player is improperly equipped, he/she must leave the game immediately. However, during a FT situation when the shooter is the guilty party, clear the lane and have the player shoot his/her shots. Once the final FT is shot, Team B gets the ball for a throw-in, whether the final FT is made or not. You can't take the risk of knowing the earrings are there and allowing her to shoot when the ball could be live if the shot is missed. It's too risky.

That's how you should handle the situation in the future. [/B]

Where do you find any backing for this approach? Is this gonna fall under the "elasticity rule" that the R can do whatever he wants???????????
