Guy toss around 2-3 too easily sometimes, but this is truly an extraordinary circumstance. Kid takes off his jersey, throws it at the coach, and leaves.
Have a brief conversation with the coach. "What just happened, coach?" "The kid is a head case. He's done." "Very well. His last act associated with the team was the removal of the jersey on the court. T for that. Now let's have a sub and we will proceed as if he never existed." jmo

I know this is a bizarre scenario, but whatever this kid does in the game after the coach tells you he has suspended the kid from the team and YOU forced him to play - that's on you. |

I disagree. He is injured. Mentally injured.

This situation goes way outside what happens within the confines of the game and I believe should be dealt with outside the confines of the game.

What are you going to tell the opposing coach, then, when he puts up a stink about the kid leaving the floor?
That's, of course, assuming he knows the rule, or is at least familiar with it. |

Fine by me, just tell me that he's injured. But a coach saying "No, I don't want to." Isn't good enough here.
Look, from the start I haven't said to keep him in the game; I said get him disqualified. Unfortunately, in basketball, there's no way to disqualify a player that isn't going to give free throws to the other team. I've literally had this happen to me during a baseball game. In the middle of an inning the catcher left home plate chucked his helmet into the dugout and went outside the fence declaring he was done. So I obliged him and tossed him. He was in fact made at his coach (dad). By all means, get rid of the kid, just do it by the rules. |

That the intent of the rule is to show disgust with an official's call and this was not directed at the officials and then I'm done with the conversation.

I understand "the intent of the rule" argument.
While this situation will probably never happen to any of us, it's certainly fostered some good discussion. What I keep getting hung up on, though, is the resumption of play. We've theorized getting a sub, putting the ball down and starting to count, etc. While this exact situation is not necessarily covered in the rules/cases, I'm still inclined to use the "leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason" reference to give a T. That way, we're at least following the rules to some extent. I don't have my books in front of me, but I suppose what could follow, if the kid won't come back on the floor, is a DOG warning? I don't know, I'm just trying to come up with a logical way to continue the game. |

The most logical way to treat this IMO is to use 2-3, treat the player as gone and get a sub in. Give a T for removing the jersey or leaving the floor if you must but I'd be inclined not to.
