IAABO mechanics (can't speak for NFHS mechanics) give us the option of having the noncalling official tell the coach about the fifth foul, and to start the replacement clock. I've never had to opportunity to use this option, but IAABO probably has this option in place for a good reason.

I have no problem dealing with a coach that's upset, but I'm not going to get in pissing contest with him if it's unavoidable, and allowed by the mechanics set that I utilize. Sometimes it's not about being macho. If all it takes is an extra switch, or a no switch (in lots of situations, not just this specific one), to avoid escalating problems, than I'm all for it. I seldom use it, but I'm all for it.
