As for more people helping in on strategy I have no problem with it, who cares how many people are coming up with the strategy? It is up to the drive teams to execute said strategy during the match and that is the only place where anybody should really care how many people said team has on the floor.
The issue is not whether or not we think it's a big help. The issue is that this is breaking the rules. If teams are breaking the rules then the head ref should be notified and he should require the team to comply with the rules ... 'nuff said.

I'd also like to remind people that all is not always what it seems. Not everyone in a team shirt is on that team, etc. This is why I suggest informing the head ref and letting him take care of it.

Rules are there for a reason, and sometimes the reasons are not always apparent.
