Some may argue that this is an "automatic" technical foul. Yet, how often do we just give the unbeckoned entering substitute who takes a few steps onto the court the "stop sign" and send him back unpenalized?
Situations like when we're still in the process of reporting a foul to the table? Or about to notify a coach that one of his players has just been disqualified? Or after the warning horn has sounded? Or while the ball is at the disposal of an inbounder, or a free throw shooter?
Many middle school players (and few high school players) believe that the "horn" gets them into the game and don't wait to be beckoned.
