Entering the court
 

Newer varsity official question...run out or walk with a purpose ?

As in, when entering to observe warmups?

I don't think I've ever seen an official run in this instance or even "walk with a purpose." Just walk out normally and assume your proper position.

Run out at the beginning? No. Run in at the end? Yes!

Whatever your partner(s) do.

I have never had partners do anything but walk out...no matter the level of play.

Walk is all you need to do. No need to draw more attention to yourself.

Peace

And when you walk out, make sure you blow your whistle....well if you're in Texas anyways.

Several older officials in my HS association love to run out for "big" games. I think walking out is infinitely more professional, but if they want to put a bigger target on their back for the night... all the more entertainment for me. :D

Walk on, jog off. If it is a FIBA gf game where a signature on the scoresheet is required that magically happens at halftime.
