Yep. Coach says he's ineligible, I'm not arguing.

Side note, I hope the coach didn't send the kid alone.

Didn't we go round and round about this not too long ago?

Anyway, I was on the other side a while back, but I was convinced otherwise. The coach decides who's eligible. Easy enough.

(The only place I can see this being a problem is when a coach has a poor FT shooter on the bench who is the only sub and a player gets injured while being fouled and the coach uses the Hoosiers line. But that's an unlikely enough scenario where I'm not really concerned about it.)

Those 2 movies are neck and neck for me but being a basketball guy, gotta go with Hoosiers. Back to the issue, only thing I could say is if that player is a terrible free throw shooter and the coach has the gall to think he can win without him and that's the reason he sent him off, then that's another story. In this case though, the kid was just being a knucklehead. Not sure if someone went with him to the lockerroom or not?

One more question that might come up. Say the coach leaves him on the bench where he can keep an eye on him and player #6 just fouled out. You have four on the court plus the knucklehead on the bench. What as an official are you going to do when the coach says he's not going to put him in, continue with four? I have a feeling that's what went these officials minds going into the game on Tuesday night. Have not heard how things went yet.

Yes, I'd play with 4.

I'd rather watch a marathon of the "Bachelor" than watch Rudy once. Just one guys opinion.

I never found Rudy a good movie, let alone a "best" of anything.

Make that two. I cannot stand that movie. I have to say I don't have a real high opinion of the man in real life either.
