In last night's game Team A started the game with 5 players and ended with one. The were leading all the way through the game. Question: When is the game over while you have only 1 player remaining even though the team is winning ?

It's my understanding that as long as the officials consider a team has a chance to win the game, they may continue play with only one player. Never actually seen it with any less than 4 players though.

In school and don't have my books handy, otherwise I would pull up a citation for you. Perhaps some esteemed member of the forum could help you out?

How's That Again?

No, Freddy is Wrong

Let's see this one on YouTube. |
I've actually thought about this....
One scenario I would let them play on would be a 5-7 point lead with 15 or so seconds left.
If the inbounder throws the ball a long way down the court and runs after it and forces the other team to get it (before it goes out) and go the entire length of the court to score - several times, it could eat up the clock and the team with one could still win. The inbounder could also throw the ball off a defender and then recover it and try his best to play keep away. Thoughts? Others? |

2)try and bounce it off defense if they are stoopid enough to contest throwin. 3) throw in, foul, and hope for rebound on free throws |
Would this be cool or what? Team A down to one player. Team B up by one point with two seconds left. A5 to inbound on a spot throw-in. B1 reaches across the plane and hits the ball in A5's hands. Technical called. A5 hits both free throws. A5 then inbounds by throwing the ball off B1's leg and the clock runs out as team A wins the game.
OK - it's probably never happened but it would make a great video. |
Then Again...

8-1-4C The first marked lane spaces on each side of the lane, above and adjacent to the neutral-zone marks, shall be occupied by opponents of the free thrower. This one-player team seems to be spiraling down the drain toward a loss! |

This seems like the best solution. So are you going to tell us how the 1 player handled it in the game?!?! |
