Fighting - again

[BryanV21]

Maybe I'm just confused, but something doesn't make sense...

You don't award any free throws for A4 leaving the bench ("A4 - 1 indirect to Coach A"), but you do award free throws for B3, B4, and B5 leaving the bench ("B3, B4, B5 (2 free throws) - 1 indirect to Coach B").

You noted earlier that none of those players above participated in the fight. So why are they (or their coaches) penalized differently? I can't find a difference in them.

For bench who leave but DO NOT participate: It's 1 indirect to the coach, no matter how many are involved. If the numbers from each team are the same, they offset (no FTs). If the numbers are not equal, it's 2 FTs TOTAL for the team that has fewer.

For bench who leave AND PARTICIPATE: 1 indirect to the coach for EACH and 1 "set of FTs" for EACH, after the offset.

Okay! I wasn't aware of the part about a different number of players.

Sometimes it's tough, but anything you can do to to ensure that free throws are all offset makes life easier.
