Leaving the bench prematurely?

[crosscountry55]

If it’s a NFHS game, immediately upon the score I’m looking for the opposing timeout if they have one. If they do, grant it, note the exact time on the clock, replace time if you have definite knowledge, and clean up but otherwise ignore the shenanigans as it occurred basically simultaneously with the timeout call. Some may disagree but that’s how I would handle it and/or discuss it with my crew.

If the opposing team doesn’t have a timeout or chooses not to use one, or if it isn’t called absolutely immediately, then I have a bench technical per 10-5-2.

Standing by for the NCAA interps of this case. It’s a little different there since the clock automatically stops in this situation.
