The player was officially disqualified by rule. Rule 10-5-3 says that "the head coach shall not permit a team member to participate after being removed from the floor for disqualification". What the head coach directed his disqualified player to do was "participate", and if the player was "removed from the floor", then he sureashell shouldn't be going back
on the floor. Penalty is a direct "T" on the head coach. Let him do what he wants in the bench area, but not out on the floor.
