Disqualified Player

That doesn't mean the officials should let them do it, as juggalo indicated.

Agreed. I'm just saying that this wrong notion is a big enough deal, around here at least, to warrant some attention in advance. I have mentioned it in pregame. "Nobody enters without being beckoned. Even when somebody fouls out."

I once informed a coach that his player had fouled out and he replied sarcastically, "Why do you think I've got a substitute at the table?" A few seconds later, we had a "tea party".

AFTER I have informed my partners that we have a disqualified player if I turn to the coach and see it's obvious he is aware I just keep my distance, put up 5 fingers, and say 5. I've never had a problem.

If I see a sub at the table, I ask the coach (from the reporting area), "This sub is for the DQ'd player?" It counts (in my book) as the notification.

Got the annoyed "I know" last night. The sub was already at the table, so I just let the sub in, turned away from the coach, and got into position for the FTs.

I almost had that situation about three weeks ago. "Coach that's 5 on 23 I need a sub." He looks at me and points to a sub standing at the table then says, "what do you think that is?" (in my mind "okay a$$ hole, next little comment and you'll be sitting" he had been a little chirpy the whole game. One of those guys that would ask about a call and when you begin to tell what you had they get this poop eating grin on their face like you're feeding them a complete line of BS.

Rather than say that I need a sub, giving them a chance for such a response, I ask if that is their sub for #23. If they say no, I have the timer start the count, if yes, the sub comes in an we move on.

I'll try that next time, thanks for the idea.
