A substitution violation happens when teams substitute incorrectly. Players must report properly. Substitutions occur only during dead balls. For example, a player enters without reporting. The referee stops play. A technical foul may follow. This mistake costs points.
Coaches manage substitutions carefully. Bench players must stay alert. Officials watch the scorer’s table closely. Simple errors cause big penalties.
