Again, I have no huge problem personally with the shot clock. It is probably coming, but there are officials I do not trust to get these things right. And I certainly do not trust the table people to get things right with people who are basically fans trying to run this system. Heck just having a system where "recall" is used is a must a lot of time. Instead of hearing about slow down games, we will hear about shot clock situations as we hear about at the D1 level and officials that are much more experienced miss a basic shot clock situation and they have a monitor. We will not have a monitor. Good luck with that as stated. Peace

Another rule change I would like to see is changing the requirement for the book to be ready at the 10 minute mark. How many times is the book anywhere near ready in a pre-season tournament when the teams only have 10 minutes or so to warm up?
I suppose it needs to be done and set for bookkeepers to not be rushed at the end, and coaches to figure defensive match-ups, but maybe move it to the 3 or 5 minute mark. I think few officials strictly enforce it now because its looked at as a bookkeeping thing that has no real impact on the game. Sort of like the rule change of going OOB to avoid a screen was changed from a T to a violation because no one would call it, maybe making it a more reasonable time would help. And btw, I'm not looking to call it then either, but it feels odd to seemingly set aside a rule when teams don't have ample warm-up time. It would be just nice to be consistent regardless of the circumstances. |

The book doesn't have to be ready by 10 minutes. The requirement is for the team to supply the scorer with a numbered roster and designate the starting five. Whether that information is recorded properly in the book at that point is irrelevant.

This is why I don't understand why some officials are so anal about going over at 12ish minutes to "correct anything before you have to give a T." There is nothing that says you have to give a T if the official book isn't completely filled out at 10:00. Unfortunately many officials just simply don't know the rule. |

And for the record, I sign the book at 10:00 if it's ready, but if it's not I'm not standing over the scorer's shoulder waiting for him/her to get everything in. |

Why not sign it there when you there the first time? Your signature in the book has nothing to do with it being filled out. It is just identifying who the officials were for the game.

I put a line after the last name and initial the line. Now, I can see if someone was added afterwards (recognizing that there might be a legitimate reason to do so). So, I need the book completed before I can do that. |

The book just has to be ready when the game starts honestly. And if you requrire the book to be ready before then, you are putting that on people that might not be associated with the teams or have an interest to get the book done before that time. I have literally had scorebook people get up and not come back until a minute before game time and both teams submitted all their information. And in one case, the scorekeeper did not put any of the information in the book correctly, so we literally had several players from both teams not listed properly.
All I do is when the book is filled out, I have the coach sign off on the fact that all information is correct. Then if there is a mistake or they find something, they can have it corrected immediately without any penalty. I do this so that we do not have a player not listed or the wrong started listed and someone is claiming there should be a penalty. It also puts the responsibility on the coaches so that they cannot tell me later, "We gave them this list and they copied that list instead." This is especially true during tournaments where the host school or entity is not playing the game at hand. For the record, I only sign the book when all of this is done. I do not want anyone claiming I saw something and allowed it to take place. Just another way to cover all the bases of the recording information. Peace

Back in my days as a manager everybody(or so it except us) played zone. So late in games where we had leads or were trying to get a last shot we pulled the ball out to force them out of the zone. AND if the game went OT and we won the tip and the other team played zone we pulled it out to make them come out and play man. Once we changed leagues our strategy changed as almost everybody in the other league played man.

This is why so many of us think the shot clock is not necessary. It's a solution to a non-existent problem.

To me, this is just the sign of Maryland teams getting used to playing with a shot clock. In DC, I have also had shot clock violations in my games, although most have come without them. I have also (informally) timed games across the bridge in VA with a shot clock, and I have noticed between 2 and 5 shot clock violations per game on average. There tend to be more shot cook violations in girls games, and in the playoffs, in my experience.
