Holding him for instructions, or just holding him? If the latter, for what reason?

Does it matter? Sounds like the coach was "trying to make a point"

Yep. Not instructing at all; just 20 seconds of nothing but, "No, just stay here" to both the sub and the DQ'd player.

The PITA quotient had been rising as the game progressed, and I'd shut him down. This was his way of trying to protest without getting a T.

My guess is he didn't know the rule; thought that I would simply direct his sub into the game after 20 seconds or something.

I assumed he knew the rule because of the way he acted, I could tell he knew I'd have the timer start a 20 second clock.

We both learned something.

Well I guess he sure showed you, didn't he. Put you right in your place...wait. What's that T for??? Oops...guess he didn't know the rule as well as he thought he did. Silly coach.

Not much else you could do Snaqs...he thought he would one-up you and you dealt with it.

My interpreter once told us this story. A1 is DQ'd and the substitution time is started. This was when the coach got 30 seconds to sub. At the warning horn the official says, "Coach, I'm gonna need a sub."

The coach snaps angrily, "I get 30 seconds!"

Official's reply: "Don't take 31."

I was going to say, seems like he was trying to bait you into a conversation or show you up.
