Notified ...
Certainly fulfills the requirement of the teams being notified.

Not My Job ...
I've often heard that here on the Forum, so I agree.
But that's on the state, not on the NFHS. If I don't see any "fashion" problems in the pregame warmups, I will just say to the coaches "Coaches, please make sure that your uniforms and equipment are legal, and will be worn properly, and that all participants will exhibit good sportsmanship". Short and sweet, and hopefully fulfilling my NFHS requirement of verification. I may add a statement regarding the coaching box, or about thirty/sixty second timeouts, but that depends on my mood, who the coaches are, who my partner is, and whether I'm the referee, or the umpire.

Um, I thought you (NFHS) did when you posted: "Referee’s Pregame Duties 2-2-5: Verify with the head coach, prior to each contest, that his/her team member’s uniforms and equipment are legal and will be worn properly, and that all participants will exhibit proper sporting behavior throughout the contest." Verifying carries with it the same context as asking IMO. It is impossible to verify with a coach that all participants will exhibit proper sporting behavior throughout the contest. No one can predict the future can they? And few coaches are aware of what their players are wearing. Coaches may at times go out of their way to point certain items out (thick padding, mask, etc.), but only because they may be abnormal. I understand that the point is to simply plant the idea that everyone is good to go, but my point is that, to me, this, in the rules, is irrelevant to the game and that very few officials do it. Also, that the coaches could answer with a "no" or that they give an insincere (because they are not sure) "yes" or that they use the default answer of "should be." Quote:
I can see it now: Coach: Why didn't anyone come get us? Official: Sorry, you should have been able to hear the horn from your locker room that was down the hall and through two doors.

Verification ...
Here in my little corner of Connecticut:

I can understand why some will "ask" to verify, but it's there's another way to verify without asking, I say go for it. Remember, it's all about the purpose and intent of the rule, not necessarily the literal rule as written.

An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure ...

No three minute horns here in my little corner of Connecticut. We usually get a knock on the door. For us, I would guess that about 75% of the timekeepers remember to send someone to knock on the official's locker room door and the team's locker room doors, even when reminded by the referee before halftime. Lower percentage for non-varsity games. As officials we always try to keep track of time and often end up walking back the court on our own with no three minute knock on the door. How about some classic 1970 Tony Orlando and Dawn? Anybody over a certain age should know what song this is without clicking, if not, you should be ashamed of yourself. https://youtu.be/wT5ms2Nvpco

NCAA (some) Changes you will see (or not see)
At a camp where this was discussed right from the NCAA Committee Meeting.
Finally, we were told the Women's Tournament loses 15 million dollars a year. The Men's Tournament makes a little over a Billion dollar (YES with a "B"). Just because the women's games does something does not mean the Men's game feels the need to do things. Some of these have not been officially approved, that will happen in June. There was more changes I am sure, but we only addressed the ones that were asked of the person that sits in those meetings. Peace

This will be a DISASTER with JuCo/small college tables.
Are all shot clocks even capable of having two different live-ball reset options? Also I find it funny what you said about blarges. They literally had one in the first round of the tournament this year. |

Also if there are officials that were to be chosen for the NCAA Tournament based off of one or two things and things like not stopping the clock was considered, he would pick someone else. So it matters if the boss says they want you to do something and you say it is silly and do not do it. Kind of how a lot of things work. Again, I am just passing along information. Peace

Free Tickets ...
Nice benefit.
The $13.00 isn't paid individually, it's built into my local board's annual dues. Observed my buddies working about a dozen tournament games this past season, saved me over $60.00. Dues this year were only $100.00, down from $125.00 the year previous. We saved some money on our end of year banquet. Buffet instead of sit down, open bar only during the cocktail hour.

Note: I have been an ECO, mostly with Daktronics scoreboards with shot clock capabilities. I know how Daktronics scoreboards work, less so about Fair-Play and Nevco (reading through the scoreboard operation manuals). |
