... Can a player, still on the floor, having been whistled with his fifth foul (thus fouling out; 6th foul in the NBA), then call a time out before exiting the floor? <br><br>****************<br>no sig

he can call a timeout. technically, the team has a minute or two to replace the player and until the player is replaced, he/she can call a timeout and remain on the court and is still a part of the team on the floor. <br><br>--<br>Straw-man rhetorical techniques are the practice of refuting weaker arguments than one's opponents offer. 2 "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw-man argument" is 2 create a position easily refuted, then attribute that position to your opponent.
