Stopping Play

Ref Daddy · #1 (**permalink**) Mon Dec 22, 2003, 07:31pm

Disagreed with Partner last night.

Player lost a shoe. Partner stopped play right in the middle of a fast break.

With obvious exception - I only stop play immediatly if eyeglass's hit the floor.

Other situations (kid in pain, player down, blood, etc) after the play ends.

Agree?

Generally speaking, only stop the play if a player is in emminent danger; losing a shoe does not qualify. If a player is down, and the ball has been rebounded and passed out to the wing for a fastbreak (to other end). Stay with the player and let the break continue. Ultimately, you have to decide if there is a risk to any of the players if you let the play continue or not. Error on the side of caution.

There can be other factors that dictate how quickly to intervene with a whistle. If it is 6th grade Rec League, I will stop it immediately if a player's glasses fall to the floor and a stampede of players are in the area. (I know how expensive those glasses can be.)

Is this when they're about to play misogynist rap music during warm-ups?

You may have to check your "grammer" again!

Which is why it's so much fun to catch you out. I get my points by pointing out that "emminent" can also be found in the "I" section of the dictionary.
