Don't Look Back ...
Quote:
It would be nice if the penalties move up the ladder (athletic director, principal, the state interscholastic sports governing body), but compliance up the ladder wouldn't be high on my priority list, although I would file the necessary paperwork. And this could happen in either an intersquad, or an intrasquad, scrimmage. Coach: "You can't disqualify him. We're not keeping track of fouls". BillyMac: "He's disqualified for trying to throw a punch". Coach: "He's gonna keep playing. It's only a scrimmage". BillyMac: "If that's the case coach, then you're going to forfeit the contest". Coach: "I don't care. The game doesn't count". BillyMac (to table): "This team (pointing) forfeits. I'm outta here." And, when I get home. I'll contact my assignment commissioner, discuss the matter, and talk about filing all the necessary paperwork. Scene.

You are right, problems could happen at any scrimmage. But I have never heard of anything happening in my state as I read on this board when teams are playing each other in a "scrimmage." Even in football where you cannot play another team, very little if anything happens that would raise any eyebrows. Peace

Even in football teams play 1 or 2 scrimmages against another team. All rules apply, we throw flags but don't usually mark the yardage off. All rules apply to scrimmages just like regular season games. Any fights or ejections and players/coaches are subject to disciplinary action Last edited by OKREF; Sat Nov 21, 2015 at 02:05pm. |

How Do You Get To Carnegie Hall ???
Agree. But once the scrimmage starts, it's the official who is in charge, not the coach.
Coaches are in charge at practice. The buck has to stop somewhere. "Too many chiefs, not enough Indians", will never work in a basketball contest.

Even in the football example you gave, coaches are all over the field, usually right in the offensive backfield and if we have a penalty, we might not even mark it off. In some cases, there are two different units going on on the same field going from the 30s or 40s to each goal line. Like I said, these are practices, nothing more but with officials on the field or court. Peace

Respect My Authority (Cartman) ...
Quote:
But it two kids get involved with fight, and the coach convinces me not to disqualify them, and I comply with the coach, and the same two kids get in another fight (worst case scenario), with one of the kids getting seriously hurt, then my lawyer is going to make a lot of money defending me in a lawsuit. There is absolutely no way that I'm giving up all of my authority as an official in any type of assignment, like allowing a coach to convince me to allow a disqualified player from continuing to play. It's his practice, but it's my scrimmage. Rotating officials in, and out, of a scrimmage has nothing to do with this debate. They are all basketball officials. Here's the reason for this debate: Quote:
Quote:
But based on my experience as a basketball player, and as a middle school basketball coach, I still maintain that the same problems can occur in an intrasquad scrimmage, as an intersquad scrimmage. Teammates can, and will fight. Usually it involves a girl. Opponents can, and will fight. Usually it involves some type of disrespect. As the contest official, in my scrimmage, they're on the bench, no matter how much the coach pleads his case. If he won't allow me to be in charge, then I'm out the door. After all, that's why I was asked (volunteered, or assigned) to be there, to be in charge of the contest. Otherwise why ask for officials? Assistant coaches can blow whistles just like officials can.

I also did not say that there cannot ever be problems in a in-team scrimmage. But I have yet in all my years in both football and basketball ever heard of the problems or issues I read on this site. Never had to throw anyone out or have a fight. Even when we do our job and call every foul and every penalty that occurs, the coach is right there to correct the situation. I have more issues in 7 on 7 or summer leagues where they are competing with another team and their is some "skin" in the game for the participants. There is no "skin" in the game during a scrimmage (here) because everyone knows what the other team is running on offense or defensive sets and coaches certainly do not want to get anyone hurt for when it starts for year. You guys just do it differently and I am glad I do not have to deal with that so I have to decide if someone is getting a flagrant foul or not. The girls started on Monday and the boys start this coming Monday. Most games are tournaments and multiple games in a week so they are worried about competing against other teams, not trying to kill each other when most teams will play 4 or 5 games next week. Peace

Respect ...
If I'm officiating a scrimmage, and a player tells me to, "Go f... myself.", and I charge him with a flagrant foul, and sit him on the bench, and the coach tells me that the kid needs to play to get ready for the season ... If the coach doesn't back me, and the kid plays, I've lost all respect that I may have gained as an official.
I can't punch the player in the face. I can't swear back at him. The only tool in my belt is to sit him on the bench, and if the coach wants to take that tool away, then I'm hitting the pavement. Fights. Swearing. In my opinion, these can happen in both intrasquad, and intersquad, scrimmages. Either way, I'm handling it the same way, by the book.
