Disqualified Player Participating, Whistle ???

Maybe? Maybe not? I can see this situation happening a lot of different ways, and it's never happened to me. I can see the table crew either talking to an official during a dead ball, or sounding the horn during an appropriate time, and then, if an official decides to make the ball dead with his whistle, talking to an official. I really don't see an official recognizing this during a live ball situation, unless it's some kind of really memorable player. If I recognize this while the ball is live, I'm going to sound the whistle to stop the game, but I'm probably going to double check with the table crew first before I penalize with a technical foul. In all cases the ball would be probably be dead when I make a decision to penalize with a technical foul. I'm not sure if I would blow the whistle, or not. I guess I have to have it happen to me in my game to figure out what I would do.
