BITS, you may think I'm making a big deal out of nothing but this is a huge, huge deal. More preventable problems happen simply because the ball gets put in play before the crew is ready, and these are sometimes the types of preventable problems that people remember for years.

Darn right. I was working 2-person this season with my hand up counting players at the start of a quarter. Partner R doesn't look at me and puts the ball in play. V has 6 on the court. Fortunately, V coach was sheepish and took blame for this, but we all know who was really at fault for the technical we had to call. [/B]

So why did you call it?
Start of a quarter, innocent mistake. No real advantage. If the officials are "really to blame", seems to me the right thing to do is stop, correct, and move on.
