5th foul - game management

[mick]

Last night, 2 mnutes, 4th quarter ( I observed, from behind the scorer's table), 6'1" V30 was called for her 5th, a shooting foul, by Umpire.
V30, visitors best scorer, walked toward the bench knowing it was her 5th.
(U did not notify C coach or V30.)

V coach told V30 to stay on the floor, so V30 stopped, turned around and watched the other players line up.
U and R have the players lined up and are prepared to accept the replacement, but nobody is moving at V's bench.

R, who was going to administer the free throws, then tossed the ball to U and walked to V bench.
He politely told V coach that V30 had just received her 5th. V coach quietly vented to R, R quietly listened, and V coach then asked for a time-out.
