Illegal Subs and Penalty

But when it happens multiple times or they don't listen a T could give the coach motivation to instruct his players how to properly sub.

Also, a player who leaves the floor and goes to the bench before sus are beckoned could be T'd for an unauthorized exit.

Once had all 5 subs run on and all 5 players run off while partner was reporting a foul. Didn't them (they were young) but made them do it right while garing at them menacingly

Two things: First, all the time? Really? I have literally never seen it, in any level.

Second: Leaving the court for an unauthorized reason is a violation, not a T.

Amazing how leaving out a few words changes the entire meaning

NFHS 10-3-6i

A player shall not: Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as (leaving) the playing court for an unauthorized reason to demonstrate resentment, disgust or intimidation.
