As I'm standing there watching (from across the court as C getting ready for FTs), I'm thinking, "I think he's crossed the line here, we've got to get him with a T." Partner (an experienced official) is patient. One of the captains from Team A, who is lined up along the lane, shouts over to his bench, "Come on coach, let's go." Coach A still complaining. Partner finally says: "Coach, your 30-seconds is up, I need a sub."

Your partner is too nice a guy. There's no warning required to the coach to get a sub up there. If the 30-second horn goes and there's no sub
at the scorer's table, it's an automatic technical foul. The sub can't be on the way to the table when the horn goes; he has to actually be there.
