After 30 seconds, a technical foul is assessed directly to the head coach (see Rule 10.5.1.d and Casebook 10.5.4B). No warning is warranted in this situation.
Strictly by rule, yes . . . a "T" after 30 seconds if no sub enters. However, don't be too quick to go that route. Do what you can within reason to let the coach know it's time to get the sub in ("Coach, time's about up. I need him in NOW."). Yes, they play their games, but if he's not being purposely a pain in the ###, just go with the flow and allow a little flexibility. And don't forget the proper procedure for a disqualification: Once you've been informed, 1) inform the coach, 2) direct the timer to begin the 30-second time, 3) inform the d/q'd player. Stand generally in the reporting area until the sub reports in, THEN go administer the free throw(s). Nothing else happens until either the sub enters, or you assess that dreaded "T."
