I can see a coach not getting on you about telling a sub to sit down. But if the other coach was on the ball, he would have raised h*ll about misapplying the rule in this situaton. I can't speak for every state or area, but if three guys dunked here, and the opposing coach saw it, you can bet your next game check if I am not ringing up three guys and showing the coach the door, at the very least, there will be a letter to the state. Don't know about you, but that is not one meeting I want to have, nor a situation I want to explain.

The other things you mention are "preventative" officiating things, you can educate the kids as you go. Once you put one down, god and the world has seen it, and you need to take care of business no matter how unpleasant.


Speaking on this topic, let's say you have three kids dunk, and the coach is now ejected. When does he have to leave? At that moment? After intros and before you shoot the T's? I don't think the book addressed pre-game ejections. Same with players, let's say he throws a punch during warm ups, is he allowed to finish pregame drills or does he have to grab bench right then?
