BktBall -
I can't imagine whacking somebody period over this. Eventually, I will be finding out why the team isn't on the floor -- the only way this would ever be a technical foul is if I got some kind of blasting (We'll come out when we're ready!) from a coach. Can't see that happening, at least not at the varsity level or above.
This is such a non-issue, really. I don't care if the teams are out at 3:00. I care once the clock expires. Cause once it does, we start the second half and it's hard to do that properly with one team.
Jeff's right, too -- around here we're usually the last ones on the floor as we're the last notified. I don't like being the last on the floor, but I'm not going to stand with an eye at the door to make sure the teams don't sneak onto the court without me.
I'm admittedly not a stickler when it comes to administrative issues. If the lineups aren't in the book at 10 minutes, I make sure they get put in at that point. Of course, being at the table at about 11:30 means we get things started even before we reach 10:00. If a player shows up late and isn't in the book when reporting, I get the player in the book without a technical if I can help it. If that's wrong, by rule, so be it, but running the game is more important than worrying about minutiae, in my opinion.
Speaking of, I have boys game this afternoon. Need to start polishing the shoes.
