Had an early game Saturday afternoon...so I was able to go watch an evening game.

I was sitting with a couple of good officials who do girl's games only.
Well, one of the official's daughter is the coach for one of the teams we are watching. (1st game before Boys Varsity)

Now I have a soda bet with the coach's dad. Here's why:

4th quarter...5th foul on player A1.
Official reports foul and is told by the scorekeeper A1 has 5 fouls.
Official notifys coach and tells the timer to start the 30 second count.
At the end of the 30 seconds the official tells Coach A that there will be a technical foul since he did not have a sub checked in for the DQ'd player. (This is during a game that is very close with less than 2 minutes remaining.)

I suggested that the official could have just asked the coach to have the player report and get on with the game.
The official in the stands (Father of Coach B, who benefited from the call) said, "NO WAY, there is a rule that the sub has to check in before the 30 seconds is up"...he went on to say that there is a warning horn before the 30 seconds is up, and the sub has to be checked in before that. He was adamant about the warning horn for a DQ.
I told him he is correct as far as a TO goes...but to my knowledge there was no warning horn required for DQ's. He said, "Oh yes there is".
This official is not in the boy's association, they are separate associations around here...so I thought I would offer him a wager as to who was right...the guy's side or his girl's side interpretation.

Who drinks the soda for free?
