The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
Just prior to the jump ball, the official scorer notifies the referee that the number of one of the players who is starting for Team A is not in the scorebook. Upon further checking, it is discovered that six players listed in the scorebook for Team A have incorrect numbers. Handle the situation.
All numbers should be corrected. This results in one administrative technical foul being charged against Team A. Team B will be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table to start the game. This technical foul does NOT result in the loss of coaching box privileges.
