A1 was fouled by B1. As A1 is going to the foul line to shoot, the table informs the ref B1 has 5 fouls. Ref signals coach of B1 to sub for B1. Coach yells" I have 30 sec.to sub". The trail ref lines the players up to shoot 2 FT's. After 30 sec. the lead ref informs the trail to administer the first FT. The coach is informed he is delaying the game. He screams I can't allow A1 to shoot because he hasn't made his sub yet. After the first FT the sub enters the game. Was I right? and if he had missed the FT could I have allowed him to shoot again because of the delay of game warning given to the coach?
In our area we notify the coach of the fifth foul, then the player, and then instruct the timer to start the 30 seconds allotted for the substitution with horns sounding at the 20 and 30 second marks. If, by then, you feel the coach is trying to play games then ring'm up, but a little patience goes a long way.
