You might have known he was sitting on 4 already.

I might have, but even if I did, what I know doesn't disqualify anyone. I have to hear that he has 5 in the book.

Nothing's Simple ...
The Jackson Five were wrong, it's not as "Easy As One, Two, Three".

(Please let me post the video.)

I always go over this procedure with the timer. I'm going to the coach first and then I'm *immediately* coming to you to start the clock. One horn at 5 seconds. I'll handle the rest.

I've watched too many partners dawdle with this and essentially grant the teams a timeout while we wait. Not me.

I agree that we shouldn't let this become a timeout, but I do one thing: I ask the coach if he/she has a sub or if he/she needs time. If they say they have someone and the sub goes to the table, we play. If they need/want time, I go to the table and have them start the time. IME the coach often has a sub and we can just continue with the game.

I like this suggestion. I'm going to use it. Thanks.

And, 50% of the time, the sub is already at the table, so I just verify with the coach or sub that the sub is coming in for #xx.

Nice idea; but if the coached is pissed or has been a problem during the game I'm not initiating ANY conversation that might give him/her an opportunity to say something derogatory.

yeah until they are mad at you for fouling out their player. Then they take as much time as they can get away with before they get a tech. Just follow the procedure outlined and that will save you any headaches with coaches.

You know it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Sometimes.

Ok Billy knock yourself out. I'm feeling charitable today after tossing a coach last night.
