GV, Pretty good teams, two-man
As Ref, I check the ball after I check the book (10 minutes).
Last night as Ump, I check the ball at 1 minute.
No air. Show Ref.
Check six at the home bench, all the same.
Use the best of seven.
1/2-way through the 1st, during a dead ball, I ask the AD to please find a pump, or a ball with more air, because both teams are obviously struggling with dribbles and misjudging rebounds and bounces.
AD took care of it.
At the quarter we have three from which to choose. The first one is fine.
We gave the ball to both point guards and told each coach of the change.
Of course this should not happen, but what procedure would you follow if the air-less ball happened to start the game.
Thanks
mick
