Who is at Fault?

21 views

Super-Sectional Level game.  Coming out of a time-out, the white jersey team had six players on the floor.  Officials should have never allowed the ball to become live before making sure both teams only had five players.  You will also notice the dark jersey Assistant Coach on his feet screaming at the official.  Should this be penalized?  The Trail official stops play and sends both teams to the bench while they discuss.  Since the white jersey team had six players on the floor during a live-ball play, they are assessed a Technical Foul.  The entire situation could have been avoided had the officials counted the players prior to inbounding the ball.
