While not a rule, the mechanic I have most trouble with is, as a crew, being expected to be on the court 30 minutes prior to tip-off. A men's basketball mechanic, I do, however, certainly understand why we're expected to be on the floor that early.

Never seen it done this way . . . . .


Most refs I see come out onto the court at about 15, do the meetings, check the book, then head back downstairs at 10 or so (when at least one team goes back to the lockers). They then come back up at 3 minutes left - whether teams were back on the court ahead of that time or not.
