What bothers me about the OP was that H5 was allowed by the Game Officials to walk unescorted by an adult from the Bench across the Court to where an adult was waiting.
When H5 was Disqualified for the 2nd TF with is a Flagrant TF by definition, someone from the officiating crew should have been escorting her to the Bench and that officials while informing her HC that she had been Disqualified for a FTF, that official should have informed her HC that H5 was to remain on the Bench because she was to remain under adult supervision. Usually that triggers the following response from the HC: "I don't want her on the Bench. Can I send her to our lockerroom." To which the official should have replied: "Yes, Coach, but she must remain under adult supervision at all times. From the Bench to the lockerroom and at all times while she is in the lockerroom."
The instant I would have seen H5 leaving the Bench area I would have been escorting her back to the Bench and asked her HC where H5 was going.
