Never before...

Always tell the coach, even when the sub is ready before you get there. Worst you get is, "I know," from the coach.

All 3 are superb replies.

I say so because many moons ago I flubbed this one; and the way I corrected this is to do what Scrapper said.

If you follow the mechanic, you will cover your butt, just as 44 and Snaq outline.

As for the OP, it's a unfortunate situation, but I think they were correct to rescind the technical foul. I don't see how a HC or player is responsible when an official didn't follow 2-7-5, 2-8-3, and 2-8-4 at the very least.

I've gotten a lot worse from a coach. A lot of which cannot be repeated here...

Okay, let me rephrase. "99% of the time when the sub is already at the table, the worst you'll get is...."

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

I tell them 5 fouls. This particular sitch is just one of those mindfields. I'v had lots of little things happen at that particular junction of a game.

Everybody from scorekeepers, shot clock operator, parents, teachers, they all like it when you tell the poor, picked upon, robbed by the officials of their "mythical" championship" of the galaxy coach that their "best player", otherwise known as a future con, has fouled out for the assault and battery I had to control in the 6 minutes he played.

Yes I deal with those who need dealing with.....but I also accept walking into that is always a regular Mardi Gra
