End of Game Court Storm Situation
I received this from a fellow official:
"last night in OT team A scores as time runs out and leads by 2 points. Team A and fans rush the court. Clock shows zero. Officials decided team B called a time out and put 1.5 sec on the clock. Then assessed team A a technical foul for players on the court. I couldn't find this situation in the case book. My thought is play should resume with no technical awarded. What are your thoughts."
I concur that you use common sense and have people leave the floor and continue on with 1.5 seconds w/o a T. The clock showed zero and this game was to put the winner into the State Tournament. Does anyone have a case play or past interp on this? Our state association doesn't have a "no court storming" policy.
Thanks!
