Dealing with people is one thing, but this play happened unexpectedly. Telling them not to do it again isn't doing your job. It cost the other team a FT. Give it back to them and then tell the others not to do it again. Work with people when you can but penalize when necessary. Last edited by BigCat; Thu Dec 15, 2016 at 11:15am. |

I'm really scared to call things...

I certainly wouldn't say you aren't or wouldn't call this obvious violation because your scared. I have no idea and its not my business….BUT the other potential reasons for not calling it aren't very good either.

I don't have any idea about those who post here (for the most part), but the officials around my area who go looking for things like this to call are the same ones who wonder why they never get selected to go to the state tournament.

The OP isnt something that you go looking for. It finds you. It fits the obvious rule quite nicely.

Most here who have said the T is an option have also said they (we) would go with disconcertion first. Call the disconcertion and it will shut down quickly; advise the coach that it could have just as easily have been a T. Of course, then he'll instruct his bench to do it while seated.

As you can see the poster said it was quiet...and it shocked him. Obviously an intentional act at critical moment of FT. That's not competing. Again I ask Why would you not penalize it? If I was coaching I'd first be pissed off at the other coach and then, if you didn't give my kid another FT, you. You would Have had a mess on your hands and would have to give me a T. Finally, if my kids did something like this on their own to another player, I'd be telling you to give the player another FT....and then I'd berate my players and be the subject of a thread here....😃 Obviously, you do what is expected in your area. This isn't looking for trouble. This is classic disconcertion. |

By calling the T you're not doing anything the rules don't back you up on. Angry coaches... angry players... angry fans... what's new? I think we can deal with those things. The only things we couldn't deal with are assignors who are angry with you kicking a call, or doing something not supported by the rules. Just because something doesn't happen often, doesn't mean it's wrong to do. BTW, I've given three Ts in the past three years. I avoid giving them whenever possible. And in this situation I'd probably do the same thing. However, others may not feel the same way. Which is fine. Because... like I and others have said... the rule book supports them. |

And I don't know how they do things in AZ but here in VA not calling obvious violations like this is a surefire way to NOT work the state tournament, to get better games, or whatever your aspirations may be to advance within this level. |

I would not immediately issue the "T' but would definitely rule disconcertion and warn the bench by talking to the head coach. If that doesn't get the message across, the next time they do it, the "T" will.

BTW...
Not awarding a replacement FT, or not giving a tech foul, could end up causing a lot more "trouble" than not doing either of those things. I imagine assignors would have a much bigger problem with you not calling something laid out in the rule book than calling something that may not have been the popular choice. |
