Disqualified player question...

[Brad]

I agree... I think that the philosophy is that WE want to be in control of the situation and not let a timer / other coach be in control.

Think about the situation where you have a DQed player on the visiting team... You certainly could have a timer that is eager to blow that 2nd horn and then tell you (or have the home coach tell you) that you must call a technical now.

We want to avoid all technicals in the game where possible - especially administrative ones. We have to let them call themselves.

I think that giving a T when the sub is running up to the table is like a cop giving you a ticket for going 31 in a 30.
