From games last Friday...

C Team (freshman) game and JV game going on at the same time in adjacent gyms. Player is playing first half of C team game and second half of JV game. So he is listed in both books.

According to BillyMac's partner, we would have to erase his name from the JV book since he is not warming up with them. And then we would have to issue a T for adding his name to the JV book in the second half.

Good luck with that.

Even if BillyMac's partner requeires him to be erased from the JV Book because he wasn't there for the start, you do NOT have to issue a T for adding his name back in the second half as long as his name and number were provided to the scorer prior to the 10 minute mark before the scheduled start time of the game.

I Know What I'm Doing ...
 

An award winning middle school science teacher for thirty-plus years knows how to ask pointed questions to educate, and to elicit followup questions to make a point.

Silly Monkeys ...
 

Especially stupid IAABO tests with really silly interpretations.

BillyMac's partner would have the kid's name and number stricken from the team member list submitted to the scorer.

Like. Like. Like.

Eastshire: You've seen this before, with multiple colleagues? So this really isn't an exercise in counting angels on the head of a pin?

Trying To Walk In His Shoes ...
 

He was the referee. I just let him do his thing and argue with the coach ("I always list my entire roster. Nobody has ever asked me to erase a name before."). I felt that he was being overly officious, and I didn't even broach the subject with him after the game. I brought this to the Forum to get a definitive answer so that the next time he does this (he's done this before), I can hit him where it hurts with a citation, or two, like the posts from Eastshire, Camron Rust, and Adam (above).

For your information, I asked the same question to my local interpreter. He said more names are better than fewer names.

OK, so let him strike all he wants if he doesn't want a name in the book simply because that individual does not appear to be there or ready to play.

My question is, if you KNOW that name WAS in the book, or WAS submitted on the roster given before the 10 minute mark, and he had it stricken, and then that player goes to check in, are you going to let your partner assess a technical foul if he wants to?

I have to let my partner assess any foul that he wishes. I have no authority to prevent him from doing so. It's in the rules that the officials cannot overrule the decisions of each other made within their purview.

No Train Wrecks ...
 

Is this a rhetorical question?

If not, absolutely not. I'm stepping in to prevent a train wreck.

No, it was not a rhetorical question.

I'm with BillyMac on this one. I'd be hardpressed to finish a game in which my partner tried to assess a TF as presented above. And the Coach would CERTAINLY know that I thought he was getting screwed.

True, but if I'm the one the table calls over when the name gets added, I'm going to note that it was a name originally provided prior to the 10 minute limit, and tell the book to add the name and we'll move on. If my partner comes in and insists on calling a T, that's one he'll have to answer for. I'll pull him aside and talk to him about it, reminding him that the rule only means coaches have to provide the roster, which he did. Then we'll make a united call. If that's a T, he can support that to the assigner.

Lower The Life Boats, Abandon Ship ...
 

I wouldn't overrule him, but I would certainly try to talk him of it. He's the captain, he can go down with the ship if he wants to, but I'm not going down with him.

sb elicit!

But a piss poor example of an English teacher:)
