Clock guy doesn't buzz after five seconds so 20 seconds later the horn goes and the coach now tells someone to get up. Too late coach, but partner didn't do anything. The timer kinda screwed things up by not hitting that first horn.

Partner should've said:

"Horn. Now....." after the five seconds had clearly elapsed.

I've seen so many officials screw up the DQ procedure cause they just aren't willing to start the clock and keep things moving. It's not a free timeout for the teams.
