20 Second disqualification count and FT

[Camron Rust]

In the OP, it sounds like the sub was never provided. Assuming that is the case...

If the 20 second interval runs out without the sub being available, then you have T on the coach.

So, at that point, the team no longer has to occupy the lower spaces. However, you still can't proceed until the sub has been brought into the game.

If the coach still doesn't provide a sub, I guess you'd go a 2nd T and eject the coach.

All that said, GET INTO THEIR HUDDLE and tell the coach you need that sub NOW before it gets to that point. Chances are, he is just distracted and unaware of the ramifications.

As for the huddling, they can do that if they want. The sub just needs to be provided before the time runs out. Once the sub is provided, the game resumes immediately.
