This guy had fouled out, he was already not eligible, so why did handing the jersey to the coach make him no longer a team member?

While it does say that, I think that it does so without considering DQ's. Someone who is DQ'd is still a team member....even though they can no longer play.

I agree. That was my whole point. Removing the jersey also would not relieve him of the responsibilities of a team member.

I'm still calling just one T here (for taking off the jersey). The "resentment and disgust" rule was meant, IMO, to apply to the players' attitude towards officials rather than coaches.
If it looks like the player is quitting (which is how I read the OP), I'm not going to punish the team further.

Whether he plays the next game, or even the next quarter, is not material.
