Ding, Ding, Ding....correct answer! Needless to say, preventative officiating and at least one official being awake would have prevented this whole mess. In this case, even though the ball has become live, there has been no "action" to speak of. Refneck's answer is exactly the way I would proceed. In the situation posted by Pirate, the ball was put in play with six players on the court for Team A. This is a significant advantage and the T must be called. In the original situation, I cannot justify a T because the officials were asleep in a situation where there has been no playing action.

You can get get youself in deep doo-doo sometimes,when you make decisions that are contrary to the written rules. Btw,what exactly is the difference in Refneck's case and Pirate's case?In both cases,the ball was put into play(live ball)with Team A having 6 players on the court.Why would you handle them differently? You always have to think of BOTH teams.Aren't you guys screwing Team B by ignoring the rules?They're not the ones who put 6 players on the court. |

Call the timeout, if your brain works quick enough !
If the coach has recognized the problem before the officials and has called for a timeout....
A1 is on the line with the ball and Team A coach calls time.... I say award the timeout. No T. Team A has been penalized; they lost a timeout. You will likely need to plead your case to the Team B coach. Now the real question becomes whether I would have been quick enough to recognize the request for timeout before I recognized that my team of officials have screwed up. You've gotta call whatever you see first... T or timeout.

If you do it this way and call the TO first,then your a$$ is covered by the rulebook when you don't call a T on this play. |

Same game, different situation. The game actually featured one of those odd backcourt situations discussed in another thread - where B1 deflects the ball off A1's leg in the frontcourt, and A2 was the first to touch the ball in the backcourt. Its the first time I had actually seen it...well, seen it and actually knew what it was!
Also, just an interesting observation - the game featured one of those common plays where A1 is racing upcourt on a fast break, and as A1 brings the ball up to shoot, B1 slaps down at the ball, knocking it out of bounds. The lead, who was right on the play, blew his whistle. The trail, who assumed the lead was going to call a foul put his fist in the air. When the lead indicated out of bounds, the trail quickly dropped his arm. It was one of those plays that, from behind, looks like a foul, and all the all-knowing fans whine about when its not. Not me, though! I'm an ignoramous!

This is an easy call. Live ball, 6-players= "T". HS, and certainly college, i call a T. Supervisors can forgive a screwup by the officials, but not a rules screwup. When you ignore the rules, you are inviting trouble.

I dont have my rule book handy but I believe it mentions something like "actively participating". Could just say that the sixth player was not meeting this requirement, remove him/her from the court and play on.

Here are the words from the rule book:
Rule 10 Fouls and Penalties SECTION 1 TEAM TECHNICAL A team shall not: ART. 1 . . . . ART. 2 . . . ART. 3 . . . ART. 4 . . . . ART. 5 . . . . ART. 6 . . . Have more than five team members participating simultaneously.
