FT/foul-out admin mess

[jeffpea]

in basketball, as in life, problems happen...the important thing is how you solve them....

the best way to solve the problem in the OP (as Nevada said) was to communicate what happened to the coaches and what you're going to do to resolve it ("coach - here's what happened...by rule, here's how were going to solve it/resume/administer/etc.")

if everybody knows what the problem and the resolution is, then you are better off (btw - oftentimes coaches won't like the outcome, but if you follow the rules you'll be in the clear).
