Do you make them leave the game if not noticed or do you just let them rectify the situation quickly and play? If you have a rule to reference please let me know, thanks.

Play situation: A1 is at free-throw line ready to attempt free-throws. Ref at this time sees that the shooter has bobypins, or an illegal wristband. Ref clears lane, allows shooter to shoot and then has player replaced for having illegal equipment. Was ref correct?

If she can fix it quickly, she does so before the free throws. If she can't, her sub shoots or the coach uses a TO to buy her time.

I can't imagine any way that makes the solution he used the correct one. Out of curiosity, how did he resume play after the FTs?
