Fifth foul procedure

[Ed Maeder]

You are correct. The 30 seconds to replace a DQ'd or injured player should be just like a thirty second time out. Warning horn at 20 seconds and final horn at 30 seconds. Rule 2-12-5

Thank you. Is it a direct technical or indirect technical? I got a direct earlier in the game. I need to know if I need to call our association. I don't want to have to sit the next two games. I was NOT ejected.

It's a direct technical foul charged to the head coach. The timer should have sounded a warning with 10 seconds left; but it's still up to you to get the sub there in time.

How do you explain the rule 2-12-5?

By correcting my original post.

But if there is no warning, and it wasn't put on the scoreboard, how was I supposed to know how much time I had?

Hey, we're not the ones that you have to sell on it.

I agree they should have warned you, and if I'd been there (and actually known the rule), I'd have told them to sound it after 20. Had they not, I'd have given you a few seconds to get the sub to the table if the first horn was at 30.
That said, trying to use this as a timeout to freeze the shooter comes with risk. What level ball was this?

[Ed Maeder]

Common sense should tell you that. Even if horns don't sound properly it doesn't seem like an excuse to get out of this one.

Most coaches that have some kind of brain will go ahead and sub, usually before the time expires. If he refuses, handle your business by the book to cover your azz!!!!!!
