I found it in the wikipedia: "In the NBA and WNBA, if a team is reduced to five players and one commits a sixth foul, that player must stay in the game; one additional free throw is awarded to the opposing team. "
But buzzerbeater don't use this rule. Like GM-Perpete says, we have lucky fans and they don't really need the fouled out player to re-enter :)

Oh, mislooked. I thought the guy came in after the third player got his 6th. Yeah, seems buggy.

I thought BB would use a tweaked 5 player rule, which requires 3 real life players on the court (just like the basic lineup, where you have to field 3 real players to avoid a walkover).

I did not know this about the NBA.
So really, if teams wanted to , they could just dress the minumum number of players, then play hack-a-shaq all game, everyone gets 6 fouls, just keep fouling - yer ok so your fouling Dwight or some Shaq-like player, and they get an extra Free throw, but who cares, they will miss it half the time.

maybe its a 'team' free throw. ie: Nash takes it.

Since it's a pretty special case and since BB has some differences from the NBA, we can chalk this up as a modification of the NBA rule.
