I also would not have gone back in but just filed my report with my assignor, and anyone else that needs to be notified.

Sounds like you completely agree. He shouldn't have gone back out there. it was improper and inappropriate (and possibly dangerous).

I disagree that the T was improper. We don't have to shoot the shots, the game is suspended and the folks that make the big bucks can determine what to do from there.

The game was not suspended ... the game was over and the officials were headed to the locker room. Issuing a T after the officials have left the visual confines of the court is improper. By rule.

The T was earned before they left. They left because they thought it was unsafe. One returned to mark the T in the book. That's the step I would have left out, and just considered it suspended.

Then the official should've issued it on the way off the floor.

What's the "I'm running off the floor because @#$@ is hitting the fan while issuing a T" mechanic/protocol?
