Out of subs, and a DQ

The NFHS ruled on this via POE or interp about four years ago.
I can't remember exactly where the ruling appeared.
It was: No sub available = no replacement period
Just get the game underway after removing the DQ'd player.

What if the coach simply takes the 20 seconds and *then* informs you that he has no replacement?

[Nevadaref]

If the official isn't aware that no replacements are available, then that is a slightly different situation.
You can only act upon what you know.
Most coaches will quickly say, "I don't have anyone else" or something similar.
When you learn that, you resume play immediately.
Now it may be the case that a player was injured earlier in the contest and the coach may go see if he can return at this time. I have no problem allowing for some time for him to determine that.

What? How can this be? The Nevadaref that we have all come to know, and love, used to be the "King of the Archived Interpretations".

I've had a nasty illness for the past two weeks, just getting back to normal.
I'll have to use that as my excuse for being unable to pinpoint some rulings recently.
I'll be fine by the time that I take the court for postseason.

Just in case you had better carry a casebook in your back pocket. An added bonus, you can switch the casebook from pocket to pocket to help keep track of the possession arrow.

Any game played using NFHS or NCAA Rules: A team can always have more names in the book than the number of players they initially have dressed on the bench.
