You tell me as I think your penalty may be different than mine is in FIBA.
By the letter of the book I see it says Substitutes that leave the confines of the bench area shall be disqualified. Of this we can agree, what I have a problem with is the immediate reaction to help but stopping 1 step in and turning around to go back. I would not penalize her for that action. Is it my right to decide this, I believe it is as long as I am consistent for both teams.
It also says that Irrespective of the number of personnel leaving the bench only 1 "T" is charged against the coach.
