Disqualification Substitutes ...

One thing that I hate about disqualifications are coaches who send the replacement the table and X (not noted by the calling official) as soon as one calls the fifth foul on a player, before the foul is actually reported.

The table informs the official that it's the player's fifth foul, you inform the head coach and the coach tells you, "He already reported", but the tone of his voice actually says, "He already reported ass**le".

Just ask the sub, "Are you coming in for xx?"

The, "Coach, I know you know, but that was 5 on xx" and beckon the sub.

Takes 3 seconds total.

So talk to the substitutes on the X before I inform the coach?

Every single time there are substitutes on the X before I report the foul?

Just on the slight chance the the head coach might give me some attitude?

If you pay almost any attention at all, you will know (a) when the player commits his fifth foul and, (b) whether the sub reports before or after the foul.

A sub almost immediately after the foul is committed is more likely to be for that player.

And, even if a sub is already there, most of the time it's only one.

But, yes, you need to read the situation.

With no cartilage left between my right heel and foot, I'm just working middle school games where we never have player's fouls listed on the scoreboard, we're lucky just to have team fouls displayed.

And yes, we do have to "read the room" and sometimes communication with head coaches requires a certain degree of "finesse".

While I've never done it myself, over the many years, I've had a few partners ask me to inform the coach of the disqualified player when I was not the reporting official.

One thing that I will do in pregame is to tell my partner that if I charge a coach with technical foul, I don't want to be the one to remind him if he forgets to sit down.

"Coach, that's 5, is he/she their sub?"

Also hate it when the player, coach, and table (but not the official) all realize it's the fifth foul on a player and just treat it like a "normal" substitution, without informing the official that a player has been disqualified.

They don't realize that the official informing the head coach is mandated by rule to inform the head coach.

I've also has a few partners who have allowed this (not informing the head coach) to happen when they know it's the player's fifth foul.
