Overtime "pre-game"

[deleted]

Let me have a rules reference when you have a minute kind sir.

The Rs logic in not providing the info, was what if the table provides you with the wrong info & you give that to coach... now what??

My first thought is that overtime is an extension of the 4th quarter. That sets clearly in my mind the task at hand. Each team gets an additional full timeout added to their remaining time outs, we will use the jump ball procedure to make the ball live. Its helpful to me to think about OT as being an extension of the 4th.

Look in the "scorer's duties" section.

If you tell the coach s/he has none left, and s/he think s/he does, it will lead to a discussion right away and the correct answer will be found.

The R's logic, though, is why I don't tell a coach that s/he has one TO left.

Will do, appreciate it!

In my sitch the R asked me to check TOs remaining since I granted the TO. I flashed 0 & I asked him to let her know since he was giving that team the 1st horn warning. He kinda looked me off & after the game I asked why. That's when he said letting them know they are out is nothing but trouble.

Is this something we do by rule at the HS level?? I've always done this, but I was told last night by my partner who was the R & also a State Championship official "that nothing but trouble can come from doing that. And that is the assistant coaches responsibility".
Thoughts?

Point out to your partner 2-11-6 (Scorer's Duties): "Record the time-out information charged to each team (who and when), and notify a team and its coach through an official whenever that team is granted its final allotted charged time out."

So I always let a team know when they have used their last TO. As far as avoiding trouble, if trouble happens (due to a scorekeeper's mistake), it will happen whether I'm the one relaying the info or not, and we'll have to deal with it anyway.

Thanks! Is the same true at the NCAA level? I notice a lot of guys bring those philosophies down to HS games when they're slummin.

Sigh.

Nearly the same wording. The book is available on line.

Try this. "The bookkeeper says you are out of timeouts" or " I am told that you have 1 timeout left"

Better to find out if there is a discrepancy before it is too late.
