Fifth foul procedure

[OklahomaRef]

I am a referee turned coach. Today in a game, one of my players recieved his fifth foul. I was notified and told I had thirty seconds. I waited for the first horn to put my sub in (it was late and I was trying to freeze the shooter). When the horn went off I was assessed a technical. I thought there was supposed to be a warning at 20 seconds, just like a 30 second time out. Can someone please help?

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?

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!!!!!!
