The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

A-6, who is on the bench, is wearing an illegal number.

Handle the situation.


The illegal number makes the uniform illegal.  So long as A-6 does not participate, there is no penalty.  However, if A-6 enters the game, a direct technical foul is charged to Team A’s head coach.  The head coach will lose the right to use the coaching box.  Team B would be awarded two free throws and Team B would be awarded the ball for a throw-in at the division line opposite the table.
