PENALTIES AND INFRACTIONS
Delay of Game - This can be caused by many different things:
-A coach reporting the wrong numbers for substitutions
-A team not arriving in time for the coin toss that precedes the game
-Too many or too few players taking the court

When a team incurs a Delay of Game penalty, the opposing team is awarded a penalty throw.
