In the event of dangerous play, severe fouling or other misconduct, the referee may, in addition to awarding a penalty throw, warn a player, send them to the sin-bin for a standard time of 2 minutes or for a specific time pertaining to the discretion of the referee; or send the player off. Players sin-binned will be recalled to the field of play only with the consent of the referee.
Usually, a player sin-binned for the 2nd time will be treated as if 'sent off' for the game.
To see whether if there s a foul committed
Yes. What will happen is that the last person to foul out will get called for a technical because there are no players left to play. The other team will get two technical foul shots, and the game will continue.
No, because that would be considered a foul, beacuse only players can be on the court .
If one of the five players on the team get fouled out of the game and you don't have subs you just play with only 4 players.
if a foul has accured but the team that it is for has possession the game carries on and it is called advantage
Technical foul
It's a superstition many players (including me) have. Stepping on the foul line gives you bad luck.
so that the official may know who commited a foul
no you cant it can be a technical foul
foul
In the college game, a team has to forfeit the game when they are down to one eligible player--- unless the referee believes they could still win the game. In the NBA, teams must have five players on the court, and there is a rarely-used procedure where players can come back into the game if their team runs out of players. If a player comes back in after fouling out and gets another personal foul, his team is assessed a technical foul in addition to the personal foul.
Then there would just be a personal foul and the team that got fouled would keep possession.
