I heard about the following situation from some fellow officials. Please help me shed some light on this when we meet again. Two Officials showed up at a small "B" High School to do a Jr. Varsity game followed by a Varsity game.(It saves the school money to just pay one travel fee and the two Officials don't mind earning the extra money doing back to back games. Again very small school.)
One Official is a 15 yr. veteran the other Official a good up and coming young Offcial. Well these two Officials were apparently having some "attitude" problems from the home team Coach through out the J.V. game and Varsity game. At some point, during the varsity game, the home Coach earned himself a "T". The game continued until there was less than one minute left in the contest. At this point the Home team(Team A), down by 4pts., fouled a Team B player.
Team B was in the Double Bonus. Team A Coach, already with one "T", told his players to come to his bench, but stay on the court. The Coach told the Officials he didn't want his players to "line up" and that they didn't have to!
As Officials what do we do now?
I'm not sure exactly what these two Officials did but I believe they gave the Coach his second "T" and ejected him from the game.
