Wrong Starter in Book

Just before he brought that to my attention, the coach of that team had told me he had a girl who was bleeding and he put someone else in the game for her. Which was the reason for the difference in players on the court. I was amazed that he even paid any attention to it.

One of my favorite stories: Back in my coaching days (about 10 years ago) we were at a tournament in another county (differ chapter of officials than my local one). Our opponents brought in five young quick players late in the first quarter and slapped a press on. When the quarter ended, I asked my assistant to watch to see if they brought the starters back or left the press team in. Nobody checked in. They break the huddle with their five starters on the court. I get the timer to hit the horn and the scorer to tell the officials that none of them checked in. The officials discuss. The ruling?






Five technical fouls! And for some reason, we were awarded one free throw for each. So we started the quarter with five FTs.

I don't think they'll stop anyone from paying the $35 at NFHS.org.

Correct. I did pay for two years after the partnership between the NFHS and Arbiter. Arbiter knew that I wasn't a NFHS basketball official (no Connecticut basketball officials are members of the NFHS, we're all IAABO) and I did not have access to all the Arbiter/NFHS resources.

Maybe, maybe not. International rules can be funky.

FIBA has some goofy rules.

Well, regardless of the ruling, it's hard to imagine one worse than 5 technical fouls enforced by 5 total FTs.

First off if I give 5 T's there will be 10 FT's shot in a HS game.

Secondly I would instruct the coach to put in the previous 5 that ended the quarter and we would play on. I would not assess any T's.

So if you eject 5 players for coming off the bench and not participating in a fight, you are going to shoot 10 free throws?

No the total max is 2 FT's but if I have to cover every what if in every scenario so you can understand what the rules say then I would suggest you get into the rule book a bit more.

10-8-B-1: Bench personnel leaving the team bench during a fight or when a fight
may break out: Do NOT participate in the fight – nonparticipants are assessed
flagrant fouls and disqualified. The head coach is assessed a
maximum of one indirect technical foul (regardless of the number
leaving the bench). If the number leaving the bench for each team
is corresponding, no free throws are awarded, and the ball is put
in play at the point of interruption. If the number leaving the bench
for each team is unequal, a maximum of two free throws are
awarded the offended team, followed by a division line throw-in
opposite the table.

Isn't this only for fighting situations?
