Eligible, Available, and Sitting

[devdog69]

Hey, let's get them together and see if we can ignore the three second rule I, like Tim, would like to see an official ruling on this matter as it has come up in discussion before. My personal feeling is not to get involved, if the coach says she can't play, then my ruling is that there is no substitute available. I wouldn't allow her to sit out the third quarter and play the fourth, but if he wants to finish short-handed, fine. The penalty is very severe for a player getting too many quarters in and I am not going to be responsible for that. Suppose you make her play her fourth quarter in the JV game and she is sitting on the bench in the varsity game after playing her final quarter and they become shorthanded and some official makes her play...Use some common sense and don't be over-officious, stay clear from this mess, JMHO.
