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.

Hmmmmmmm,
I don't know JR...that seems like a stretch IMO.
The player hasn't been
removed from the floor yet...he just received his 5th foul.
As long as the DQ'd player is not doing anything unsporting, etc...I'd let him stay on the floor untill he is replaced by the substitute. If he wants to talk to the other players while he waits, fine...the coach does have 30 seconds, so why make a big deal out of it?
Having said that, if my partner wants the player to stand by the bench, that's fine with me also. The player was directed to do so by an official...so I could live with that.
