No warning is authorized in this situation. (10-3-6c) |
We talked about this situation...and giving the T. But, the officials went on to ask if:
a) they could have used their "game management" skills and just got the player to return to the line before any big delay.
b) there was a violation for the player leaving the semi-circle once the L was ready to administer.
c) they could have given a delay warning as the player was leaving the semi-circle.
For what it's worth...I told them:
a) probably, if the player didn't continue to the bench
b) not that I know of
c) not one of the 4 delay warnings
what say you...
