If a player is disqualified for having too many fouls this is what I do. Prior to the game, in my pre-game with the official scorer, I instruct them to notify me immediately if a player fouls out. If this should occur I approach the player's coach (by approach I mean 10 to 20 feet) and inform him/her that the player has been disqualified. This is done calmly and loud enough for anyone in the general vicinity to hear. I inform the coach that they have 30 seconds to replace that player. I then ask the timer to start a 30 second clock. Then I inform the player that he/she has been disqualified and needs to take a seat. If the coach decides to use the 30 seconds I take a position where I would for a 30 second time out and look directly at the timer. I have never had to issue a technical foul for a coach not replacing the disqualified player in the allotted amount of time. What sort of problem are yhou having?
