No sub for fouled out player

You do not shoot free throws until the player is replaced. You do not grant any time out requests until the player is replaced. Any other subs that are waiting to come in when the replacement enters, may enter as well.

I had a player foul out on Sat and was going about my business as above and was told by my evaluator/trainer my first order of business once I was notified was is to inform my partners - then the coach. I kinda like that. Thoughts?

That's how I do it. Turn to my partners, verbally and manually indicate 5 fouls, then notify the coach.

Absolutely. Otherwise, they are likely to go ahead an administer the FT while you are getting the replacement player.

And, be sure they receive the message. It's too easy to tell them that it's 5 fouls, and to have them look right at you while you are doing it, and still have them not receive the message (they are thinking about getting players lined up for FTs, etc). I speak from experience on this.

On the slow scorekeepers -- near the end of the game, take a little extra time at the table after reporting the foul to see if it's the player's fifth foul.

MY thoughts,

I believe this is a additional preference. Normally, when players have reached the foul limit; the table will sound the horn and put up his/her hand letting you know that the player has be DQ'ed. This is why its stated that the non-calling official notify the coach, instruct the timer to start the replacement clock and inform the player.

We normally go through the process because we reported the foul and is close to the table when notified.

If we do like the book guide us then all officials will be informed and no need to inform my partners; coach; table and player.

End of thoughts.
