In a recent HS varsity boys game, my partner called the 5th foul on a player. He reported the foul, notified the coach, then returned to the C position while the coach took the full 30 seconds to replace the player. Meanwhile, the player - while still on the court and before being replaced - appears (from my position as the Lead at the opposite end of the floor) to be gesturing at him or trying to encite the crowd in some way. Q. In that situation, what is the proper mechanic? Should the reporting official stay at or near the table until the replacement is in the game or should the Trail official handle it? We didn't find anything in the Federation Officials Manual on this.
