substitutes Continually Pulled Back From Table

I would just issue a delay of game warning here.

For what? You can't just make stuff up on this.
There's nothing you can do.

depends - if the horn is continually sounding at the D ball - and then he pulls them back - and this keeps reoccurring - then you might construe it as making a travesty of the game in which case you could T. Notice I didn't say "should" before attacking this. If the table is not sounding the horn and players are pulled back quietly and game continues at normal pace - I got nothin.

If it was a continuous nuisance, it fits the unsportsmanlike behavior model, IMO; but it would have to be frequent before I'd do anything. If you do anything, do as the OP's partner did; warn first. Just don't think it's a D.O.G. warning because it's not.

It would take more than just frequent to get me to address this sitch. If a coach wants to over-coach, that is his business. As Snaq indicated concerning the DOG, there is no rules basis to address this other than unsportsmanlike behavior. A coach would have to do more than change his mind frequently for me to consider it unsportsmanlike.

When I say frequent, I mean virtually every dead ball. My guess is he's trying to get his defense set up this way.

I agree with this -- this has never been an issue and I cannot imagine it happening more than a handful of times in a game ever. But why cant you call a delay of game because he is preventing you from putting the ball in play in a timely manner.
