You really think Snaq would allow the player to report, not enter the game and then assess a T?

Tea Time ???
 

Absolutely not. However, I have had some coaches, and don't we all know how intelligent coaches are, have a substitute report to the table for a disqualified player, and then want to call him back to the bench to either talk to him, or to passively aggressively bust my chops, for twenty seconds. BillyMac don't play that game. I beckon, and if he doesn't immediately enter, it's whack. I'm not "known" for my whacking, but I'll whack here, in a Connecticut second.

Are you suggesting I should have gone a different route? Or are you surprised that a SOCO coach would pull that stunt?

Probably surprised that there was a timekeeper who could put 20 seconds on the clock, on demand, and remember to have a horn with 15 seconds left (assuming it wasn't automated).

He seemed prepared, but I actually gave him quick instructions on the spot. I do that in these games for two reasons: 1) To ensure the timer has the proper instruction. 2) To let the coach know that he's only got 20 seconds to throw his little silent tantrum.
