Nitpicking.

Be careful with rule language. A1 is "officially" disqualified only after the head coach is notified.

If you realize that this was the fouled out player, stop it right there.

If you do not realize it at the time and they come into the game, they have given you little choice.

This is the part where a sanctimonious forum member jumps in and states that officials should be omniscient and never let this happen.

Sometimes we just have to depend on our table crew. If a disqualified player tries to enter the game, or if a player substituted for doesn't sit a tick, or if a team uses its allotted timeouts, I count on my table crew to inform me. I've got more urgent things to think about in a game. Sometimes I'll unilaterally catch these situations, but other times I won't. That's why the table crew gets paid big bucks.

What other urgent things are on your mind when subs are coming into the game? Unless we have a multitude of players fouling out, it shouldn't be too taxing on the brain to remember that a certain player fouled out.

One of my early mentors used to quiz us in camp during time-outs as to the information on the scoreboard (time/score/team fouls/possession). Also used to teach us to track the numbers of the players who subbed out so that WE would catch it if a player checked back in before time came off the clock.

She's the one who inspired me to utilize my brain to its fullest extent when officiating. She is now a D1/D2 NCAA-Women's conference supervisor.

Table officials are "officials". We should be allowed to use them for some duties to make our job a little easier.

It was instilled in me early on to know what's going on. It not too hard to remember who fouled out. One the major reasons I had whatever success I had was because supervisors knew I was on top of everything. Joey Crawford calls it "running the game".

If you never let it happen then you will not have to debate about the rule that would apply otherwise, now would you? Often rules situations are created by not doing the basics. Why are you putting the ball in play when your partner has their back turned to you and dealing with the table? Kind of basic.

Early in my JuCo career I administered a free throw while my partner was still discussing something at the table. Our supervisor was there, and I'll just say, it's something that never happened to me again...LOL
