Stand Corrected
 

Rocky-

You are correct. I should have checked the case book first.

BBRef: In my scenario, whistling a T for "leaving the court" causes the ball to become dead. I guess this doesn't apply a "leaving the court".


I'll see you after school, Dennis!

Pizanno,

I was taught the T for leaving the court should A) never be called unless needed, and B) was put in there to prevent players from running OOB to avoid baseline defense and catch a pass on the other side or defenders avoiding picks/screens. or C) my favorite, going and sitting on the bench during play to cherry pick later on.

Brian-

You're right. I think I got too techinical on this one.

"a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous"

You're right. Too much knowledge is scary.

I actually had a parent yelling for one of these the other day because a kid ran off the floor to hand a knee brace to a coach. It was one of those bands around the bottom of the knee and it came off. The kid ran OOB and handed it to his caoch on the way up the floor. I think it was a good heads-up play, but not the peanut gallery.
