In a cross-conference 3A/2A Girls Vars. match-up, the 2A team was the home team. On two consecutive successful 3pt. tries, the stud-baller raises her arms as the official signaled the successful tries. It was fun, sure, but more NBA-ish--mimmic like. Does this fall under the "inciting the crowd" or not having "all actions and reactions...demonstrating appropriate sporting behavior" or even "taunting/self promoting"? The losing 3A visiting coach plead this case for a "T" w/ the officials both times when she did this. What would you do? What should you do? Thanks. Good luck, all...

If she was simply lifting her arms, as we do in the 3 pt. signal, I would probably ignore it as you did. You might say something to her when you get a chance about sportsmanship...how some might interpret her actions as un-sporting.

Having said that, if you have a player pumping his/her fists in the air, waving them, and looking at the crowd while doing so...you may have something all together different. That could be construed as inciting the crowd and/or self promotion...something we frown on in the H.S. game.

At least that is what I have been told by Veteran Officials.

Guys - there's a difference between encouraging the crowd to cheer and support your team and inciting them against the officials calls and/or the other team.

I would be shocked (shocked I tell you) to see someone issue a T for raising hands in a three point signal, unless they were doing it to contest a ref saying that the shot was a two. Tell the whiner coach to get his defenders to step out on the shooter so she quits making easy buckets.
