It is the duty of the scorekeeper to notify you when a player has a 5th foul. If the coach is mad, they should be mad at the book.

While I agree, I tend to think of this the same way I think at a restaurant. If my food is late, I don't want to hear the waitress blaming the kitchen staff. If the book fails to notify me in time, it makes everyone look bad.

That said, this coach blew is making a mountain out of an orange.

Agreed... we should know when a player has received his 5th foul. As a general rule, even with no game awareness you have to figure guys are getting into foul trouble in the second half of a tight ballgame.
