The only way you get further question is if the violator had been substituted.

"But he is not in the game."

"He is not on the line."

"He did not move."

"What are you talking about?"

"But he came into the lane."

"You did what in a one point game?"

I could see all kinds of reasoning for there being a debate or confrontation. Now this is not likely to happen, but if it does, do not be surprised what coaches come up with. If there is a discussion over a block/charge call, what kind of debate are we going to have over an obscure rule?
