The inbounder could also throw the ball off a defender and then recover it and try his best to play keep away.

Thoughts? Others?

I would not stop a game when a team is down to one person if they have a lead regardless of the size of the lead or the time remaining. Only when they are behind would I consider stopping the game.

One of the Rec Leagues I officiate in has B13-15 Division that only has six or seven players per team. This yr due to injury, science fairs, SAT prep, illness, several games have only had five players per team.

I may have to call a tight game one weekend and see what develops......
