Where does it say that if a team is not available to start the second half you are to instruct the timer to start a (another?) 60 second time period. I don't believe I've ever read that one. Heck - they just had an 8:00 time period.

In any case - he learned the lesson. The second game they informed the timer where they would be "hiding out" and were on the court with 3:05 remaining on the clock.
When I said "you never start a half without one of the teams," I should have said "by rule you never start a half without one of the teams."

10-1-5 a. When the clock is not running consuming a full minute through not being ready when it is time to start either half.
