Confused In Connecticut ...

[BillyMac]

The fifth player enters the court and gains an immediate advantage. Again, not after a timeout. Does the official charge a technical foul? If so, under what rule would a technical foul be charged? Certainly not for all five players not returning to the court at the same time after a timeout, because there was no timeout. I'm not taking any "stand" on this situation, just asking questions, hoping to get some rule, or casebook, citations.

What if the fifth player enters the court, not deceitfully but just as his team gains control from a steal or rebound, realizes he is supposed to be in, and then gets a quick breakaway bucket? What would be the ruling here?

10-3-2 or 10-3-6

The case play that has been cited ad nauseum. In particular, the final piece of it, "...nor did it provide A5 an unfair positioning advantage on the court."

Good point. If there is an unfair advantage, under which rule does one charge the technical foul, 10-3-2, or 10-3-6 (as posted by just another ref)? I don't have my books here at work.

10-3-6 is general and can be used for just about anything. (unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play)

10-3-2 is specific to this situation.


Either one would fit.
