No sub was available due to remaining team members had already fouled out. Only 4 were still eligible to continue.

Last year, when I was doing scoreboard/timer, a situation like this happened. The floor officials had an official time-out, talked with both coaches & it was agreed by all parties to continue the game playing 4-on-4.

The game was a C-Squad game.

This is the wrong procedure. I had a game like this last week. Home team started with 7. One turned his ankle in the 2nd quarter and two fouled out in the fourth. Home finished the last couple minutes with 4 and won by about 8 or 9.

There isn't much to discuss here, except to inform the officials there are only 4 available players. In fact, by rule, the other coach cannot continue with less than 5 if he has 5 available. I understand this was "just" a C-squad game, but around here, it wouldn't matter what level it is.

Snaqwells, how is that the wrong procedure? Is there a rule/regulation in NFHS that the teams have to remain 5-on-5 throughout the game?

The incident I am talking about that I witnessed, it was the 4th quarter with only about 2 minutes left on the clock.

I am curious about this since having seen it happen, how it should of been handled. I know the rules are supposed to be strictly followed no matter it be a C-Squad game or a Varsity Game. (Unless the State/Local Association has different rules like sub-Varsity can wear light colored uniforms besides the white now required for Varsity)
