Rather than diluting the other thread, I thought I'd start another discussion.
Boys varsity game
Three whistle
End of overtime ~ 104-98
Home team with the lead, playing keep-away, throws the ball to the right corner as time expires. In a fluid motion, A1 moves toward the basket. As he leaves his feet for a lay-up, B1 with a shoulder, takes him into the padded wall behind the basket and they both slide to the floor in a pile.
I'm R and C, table side (opposite the right corner). This was a very intense game late in the season (last year) with play-off implications. Crowd control was in place, thankfully, and very much needed.
Here's what we did:
My Lead (along with crowd control) got the 2 players involved to their respective benches, we made sure that there was no danger from the crowd and held the teams on the floor. Quick officials conference to get on the same page, and get the numbers right. While my U's were each watching benches, I reported a flagrant "T" on B1 to the table, informed the B coach of the consequences, and left the floor with an escort. Then came the paperwork
The only thing I wondered was if we should have called the lay-up after the horn taunting. It seemed pretty harmless at the time, but obviously upset B1.
Idea?
