NFHS: I had a JV game yesterday and I stayed and watched the varsity game. The star player on the home team need 11 points to go into the 1000 point "club". The game was not expected to be close b/c the home team has a devastating full court press.
Surprisingly the visting team stayed within 8-10 points into the second half as the home star was really forcing up bad shots. Finally with about 8 minutes to go in the second half he scored his 1000th point and the official immediately blew his whistle to stop play. Next came about 5 mintues of ceremonies: a cheer leading routine, pictures with the AD, the coach, the parents, etc. Then the ball was put into play and the home team set up their full court press again.
The home team got fired up by all of this "celebrating" and went on to blow out the visiting team.
Just wondering how other have handled these "ceremonial" situations? It looked like they pre-arranged to stop play on the 100th point or maybe somebody called a time out? What if the visting team demanded the home team be charged with multiple time outs or a "T" for delay?
thanks
