Player Delays

[SC Official]

Didn't want to revive an old thread, but I dug up the below thread while noticing an editorial change in the NCAA-M rules. Raymond, looks like Art Hyland made the editorial change you noted was necessary based on 9-4.3.

c. Player Delays.
1. Repeatedly delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly put into play, such as delaying the administration of a throw-in or free throw by engaging in a team huddle anywhere on the playing court (See Rule 10-4.1.h) or repeatedly having any part of their person beyond the vertical inside plane of any boundary line before the ball has crossed that boundary line. (See Rule 9-4.3))

Wish I had some kind of clout in the NCAA officiating world, because I would not mind being part of some kind of rules committee at that level. I'm amazed at the lack of attention to detail.

As things stand now, between missing most of last season with a knee injury and not wanting to officiate this year because of all the COVID safeguards and restrictions that make officiating not fun, I might be headed off to retirement.

I actually contracted CV-19 from my wife and have fully recovered, so I'm not concerned about catching it. All the interpersonal stuff I enjoy about officiating is pretty much going to be eliminated for this season and I think I will have lost all my fire by the time next season rolls around.

I haven't even looked at any of the rule changes nor did I take the NCAA test and I'm not taking the high school test.

I find myself not missing it as much as I thought I would, either. I talked to a friend who assigns high school recently and he thinks that is a very common sentiment - i.e. officials realize they don't miss it as much as they thought they would, so many will end up just calling it quits thus making the shortage even worse.

Don't blame you at all if you end up deciding to hang it up, but glad to know you recovered nicely from your illness and injury.

I have three friends who were more successful than me at the D1 level who were forced to take breaks from officiating because of their full-time jobs and all three of them just walked away after realizing officiating wasn't as important to them as they thought. I used to think they were crazy, but now I can see it myself.

That was generally my experience when I retired from baseball (and I've heard it from many others). But, I did pick up volleyball and that might be part of the reason -- plus it's a whole new experience, so it's more of a challenge and I'm learning more, ... and all that makes it fun to work.

I started enjoying basketball more when I picked up football.

I feel for the officials who inevitably are going to get cut from D1 leagues due to the combination of change in supervisors and reduction in available assignments. Happened to a couple people I know already, and some of them don't have "real" full time jobs other than officiating multiple sports year-round.

Happened to me this year; got dropped from my D1. I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago though, so I wasn't surprised or devastated when it happened. The head of the ACC consortium is from the town I lived in for my entire 19 year career (moved to a different town in the same area 2 months ago) , so I knew what his vision was going to be when he got hired.

I haven't kept up with anybody to see who else has gotten dropped, but I was telling friends of mine to look out over the last couple years and some of them thought I was crazy.

I'm in my early 70s. What I have enjoyed about officiating is being involved in my community, giving kids my best effort, the team work with a good partner, and the exercise.

I always said that when I couldn't keep up any longer, I'd retire, so this was likely to be my last year, in any event. It's not a good feeling to have retirement thrust upon me by circumstances.

I'll miss officiating, but I will be able to replace its role in my life: bike ride, kayak, practice guitar, volunteer at the local hospital. My days will be busy.
