End of Quarter - Backboard Lights

[JRutledge]

This is not addressed. Don't know of anything that addresses this situation. That being said why do you need to turn off the light by only resetting it to the new time? But if you have a foul and time was on the clock, why not put time on the clock? I have a few questions before we worry about the light.

Not sure any other way to only turn red light off but leave 0:00 on the clock, the clock at 0:00 does not signal end of quarter, red light does that.
Rule 5-6-2-3, that is why we didn't put time back on the clock.

He never said time was on the clock. For all we know, the foul was on an airborne shooter after time expired but where the ball was released in time.

Generally speaking, if we have definite information, sure we can put some time back on. But if the ball was released in the last 0.2s or so and I couldn’t turn my focus to the clock in time to observe something >0, let’s remember that 5-6-2 applies in NFHS games. We all know the expectation is different in college. That doesn’t necessarily mean we should transplant college practices into HS games. That would be like calling BI for a backboard slap in HS (another bad habit that college officials bring into HS games).

BTW, my experience with backboard lights is that usually the red light turns off on its own after a few seconds (although maybe that’s only when the switch remains in the “time-in” position?). But yeah, not always. I agree that I’d do whatever necessary to get rid of the lights distraction for the FT shooter.

I've never called or had a partner that called BI in an NCAA-M game for smacking the backboard, even though you can by rule.

Not disagreeing with your experience, but…

I’ve seen it plenty on TV. Clearly, too, have all of the HS coaches I’ve given Ts to when they argue my no calls for the same thing they see on TV with different results.

I know the NCAA rule is predicated on the ring moving as a result of backboard contact while the ball is on the basket or in the cylinder. So not all collegiate backboard slaps result in PI. But many do, especially with portable backboards that take longer to stabilize.

Well the rule does not say just slapping the backboard, the slapping as to influence the ball not going in and I have called that a couple of times myself and seen it called in my games. Also as said seen it a few times on TV. So it does happen, just not very often.

If you're talking about NFHS rules, that is not correct. The slapping of the backboard rules makes no mention of whether it has an actual impact on the shot or not. It is illegal if a shot is in flight.

The rule is a bit ambiguous, but not so far as to imply it has to affect the shot.

b. Intentionally slapping or striking the backboard or causing the ring to vibrate while a try or tap is in flight or is touching the backboard or is in the basket or in the cylinder above the basket.

The only thing that is ambiguous is whether the red part applies to both the blue and green phrases or just the green phrase.

Either way, it only has to occur when there is a potential for it to have an effect, not that it actually does.

I was not referencing high school at all. I was referencing the comment that the rule at the NCAA allows you to count a basket for slapping the backboard. The NF rule does not have GT or BI as part of the rule.
