We all agreed the resumption of play is to be used by definitions 4-38, 7-5-1, and 8-1-2. The sticking point is the following phrase in 4-38 as follows: "unless either team is not on the court to start the second half". The member points out 10-1-5a. It reads:



So where does that put us procedurally? So if the team is in the locker room, does that mean we wait for one minute after the horn sounds for the start of the second half and assess a technical if they fail to appear for play? From 10-1-5a, it seems like that is the procedure for the start of the halves. Just something for everyone to chew on.

Yep, we have talked about that many times on this forum. If you do a search, you will find a few threads. It has also been a test question on a few past NFHS rules exams.
