Had this happen to me last night in an 11U AAU national tournament. Coach got T'd...asst. coach gets a T...followed by another. Now we have 1 direct on coach, 2 direct on asst...making a total of three direct/indirect on coach. Both are escorted out of the venue...but we first tell coach to pick another adult or forfeit. He picks a dad out of the stands to complete the last 2 minutes of the game (fortunately the game was not that close, and the adult quietly completed his task after 6 free throws). Anyone know AAU prescribed procedure for this? I would have hated to have a team forfeit after traveling thousands of miles to a national tournament...and imagine the 11 year olds horror at watching this go on at their bench!
