That was my thought when the reporter gave me his account. According to the officials' manual the person administering the DQ bears most of the responsibility but all three should know.
My mentors idiot-proofed the procedure for us a long time ago:
*Tell partner(s)
*Tell player
*Tell head coach
*Start timer
*Make the head coach replace the DQed player
first, then bring in any other subs who were already at the table when the DQ took place
Basically, do anything possible to make sure we don't have to call a T.
