What would you do?

No matter what though, the head coach is NOT charged with an indirect technical foul and he does NOT lose the box. Rule 10-3-2. And....even if the coach had been given an indirect "T" before the game, he would not be disqualified if he received a direct "T" later. You need 2 direct "T"s or a total of 3 directs and indirects for disqualification. Rule 10-5-NOTE2.

You screwed up big-time, podner. Learn from it.

I have to disagree with you, JR. New rule change this year--per 10-5-4 the technical foul for a player participating with an illegal uniform is charged directly to the head coach. The only possible misapplication by the OP was the timing of the T.

10-5-4 . . . The head coach shall not permit a team member to participate while
wearing an illegal uniform (see 3-4).
PENALTY: (Section 5) Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in. The
foul is charged directly to the head coach. (Art. 3) Penalized if discovered
while being violated. (Art. 4) Penalized when discovered. Only one technical
foul is charged regardless of the number of offenders.


PENALTY FOR ILLEGAL UNIFORMS CHANGED (10-5-4 New): A maximum of
one technical foul shall be charged directly to the head coach when a participant
wears an illegal jersey, illegal pants/skirt or an illegal number. This rules change
reduces the penalty from one technical foul assessed to each starter and each
substitute to a maximum of one technical foul assessed directly to the head
coach. There has been a proliferation of illegal uniforms worn by teams within the
past several years. This change reduces the penalty, but puts the responsibility
for illegal uniforms where it ultimately belongs – with the head coach, not the
participant.
