Player on court during time out
What would you call or do?
Shooting foul is called near the end of the game on B1. Coach for team A calls a time out and A1 goes out and practices free throws during the time out. NFHS: Rule 1-13-3 ART. 3 . . . The time-out area shall be the area inside an imaginary rectangle formed by the boundaries of the sideline (including the bench), end line, and animaginary line extended from the free-throw lane line nearest the bench area meeting an imaginary line extended from the coaching-box line. |
How did he get the ball?

Tell him that he needs to stay in the TO area with his team and good luck on the shots...

Rule 2-7-4: The officials shall conduct the game according to the rules. This includes: ... Prohibiting practice during a dead ball, except between halves.
It seems to me that a player technical foul for unsporting behavior is appropriate for violating this rule. |

What would an NFL referee do if a FG kicker was out on the field practicing during a time-out with 2 seconds left just before his team was to attempt a FG? I don't see any way to not throw a flag and penalize 15 yards for unsporting conduct. There are certain things that players just can't do. |

He's certainly not afraid to break into jail, is he? Most likely the player just doesn't know the rule and the coach doesn't either, or he's just oblivious. That's not unsporting. So I say, "hey, stop, you're not allowed to do that; go back to your bench." That's me "prohibiting" the act or conduct, not penalizing it. Now if my direction is ignored, THAT's unsporting and I would not hesitate to penalize at that point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Not being aware of the rule isn't an excuse.
Once he does the act, he is subject to being penalized. If a team isn't aware that having a thrower remain out of bounds is illegal are you going to fail to penalize them? What about if a team has screeners lock arms while setting a double screen? Sorry, but it is the responsibility of the coach and team to know the playing rules. |
