Um, and how can you ignore Rule 10-4-1(g) then? The rules say that he can't be out on the floor.

RULE 10 Section 4 BENCH PERSONNEL
The head coach is responsible for the conduct and behaviour of substitutes, disqualified team members and all other bench personnel. Bench personnel shall not:
ART1- Commit an unsporting foul . This includes......
(g) team member(s) not remaining seated on the bench unless spontaneously reacting to an outstanding play by a member of their team and immediately returning to their seats or reporting to the scorer's table.

RULE 4 SECTION 14- DISQUALIFIED PLAYER
ART2: A player is officially disqualified and becomes bench personnel when the coach is notified by an official.

The rules cited above say that the disqualified player should be on the bench as soon as the head coach is notified. Unless you can cite something else that will back up your position, I think that I'll go with the rules


JR,
How long would you give the dqed player to join the other bench personell after you had informed him/her of the dq foul?
