I've had games where teams are late. Nothing we can do about it and there's often nothing the team can do about it...bus trouble...traffic...whatever. Never had a technical because of stuff like that. Stuff happens. What was odd in this situation was that it was the home team that was late getting to the court and the home coach that was nearly late with the book. |

Even if i was inclined to call a T in this situation in a freshman game (and I'm not, for reasons previously mentioned by several posters previously)...
Home book is the official book. Players were listed in the home (official) book that the coach was carrying with him, and the visitors had their roster provided to the scorer (well, to the scorer's table, at least, and there's NO FSCKING WAY I'd punish the visiting team for not having their names in the home team's book at the 10:00 mark in a situation like this). So there's nothing to penalize. |

The point is that since the official scorer is likely to be the person with the home book, there are no grounds for a technical foul in the first place. Unless you have proof the visiting team didn't have their roster and starters available to give to the official scorer prior to the ten minute mark. |

Let's say, though, that the conditions are "right" to assess the technical. The visitors coach knows the rule and wants the tech enforced. You could...enforce the technical, knowing that the coach wanting the tech is correct by rule. Or, you could tell him, no coach, it's a freshman game on a Saturday morning, we're not going to enforce the rule. Where I work, we're told to enforce the uniform rules at every level. Don't know why we would ignore this rule just because it's a freshman game. |

And I would like to know who wants uniform rules enforced at all levels. Mostly the people I work for say we are to be "technical" at the varsity level. Do what we can to allow them to play at the other levels. Peace

Mostly on the girls' side, but it's becoming an issue on the boys side as well with the prevalence of "tights" and long sleeves. This is what we've got an eye out for in the pregame, right? Taking care of uniform issues before the game starts so that we can just play when it's time.

Here is your answer...
If that's what your boss wants, why even ask us?

If we're actually delaying the start of the game because of it, I'll call the T and move on. As for your last sentence, there are other rules we (in my area) are more lax on for sub-varsity games, and they're all of this nature. White uniforms for home team, for example. Double (or illegal) numbers "fixed" with masking tape or duct tape. You said your partner was looking for an excuse not to call the T when the coach is 1 minute late, the only thing I'd need is the fact that it's a freshman game (Saturday morning is irrelevant, mostly). No one here wants that called in those games. Your area may be different. And the rule is "ten minutes before scheduled start time." If the game is schedule to start at 9 and the home team isn't on the court by 15 til, I'm making sure the clock gets re-set.

I'm all for being on-time, but what if the shoes were reversed. What if you got caught in traffic and were not on the court at 15, should the school start docking your pay?
I'm enforcing this rule if the coach is going to be idiot about it, such as not giving his roster until the last minute for some not so special reason, but as someone else stated, there are bigger hills to do die on.
