Warning for Delay?

It's IAABO (though based on NFHS rules, and interpretations), it's local, but it's worth some thought.

Hmm, imagine calling T in this situation, where have we read that before?

I would have charged A1 with a TF for Delay of Game and issued a Scorebook Warning to Team A for a Delay of Game.

In don't recall anybody suggesting to charge a technical foul for an unsporting act, at least one Forum member suggested charging a technical foul for a delay of game.

No I clearly said I would call a T and it wouldn't be for delay of game.

Go back and reread the thread and you'll see I even gave a rules reference for the T I would call.

Here's what my interpreter would hang his hat on: 10-2-4 Team Technical: Shall not commit an unsporting foul.

Note: I was referring to the most recent thread, not the older one.

10-4-5a is sufficient for issuing a Player Technical.

All of this makes me wonder if a rule change would make this easier. Abolish delay warnings. Get rid of the T for delay after a warning. Take all of the plays that are delays: stop play and charge a TO to the team committing the delaying action. That means there is an actual consequence the first time and that there is a simple T for calling an excessive TO in the kinds of cases we are talking about here.

I didn't know delay of games were so rampant. I may have had a handful each year. I don't think this is as big a problem as you or some others on this board think it is.
