I spoke with the interpreter to discuss his reasoning. (Chuck...the interp. is John Karo of Board 54. He said this first came up in S.E. Mass. and was brought to his attention by Lefty Duval, interp. for Board 30. John said it has not been vetted by IAABOÂ’s Peter Webb or by the MSBOA.)
He is backing his interpretation on the definition of “team member” to include any person in uniform and taking part in the team’s lay-up line or shoot around. He said that as officials we have no way to know if a varsity player (or any other player), who is in uniform, is part of the team or not. Perhaps the varsity coach wants this player to play with the JV for one half and is willing to accept the administrative T for adding him to the book at halftime. He said if he is not part of the team, then he should not be on the court at halftime with the rest of the JV. If he is there and he dunks, then he has to be assessed a technical since he “clearly” is a “team member.” While I am still troubled by this interpretation, I understand the reasoning: why else would a player, in uniform, be with the rest of the JV team if he is not a “team member.” It is up to the coach (JV or Varsity) to keep this kid off the court if he is not part of the team. |

I say assess both technicals. It will teach the kid not to be a bonehead. The coach needs to control this stuff. If you let him off with a verbal warning it doesn't carry as much weight as the T. I agree with the interp that if the player is in a uniform, they are part of the team. Around some of the smaller schools, you might have a player that plays some in the JV game and some in the Varsity and that player may have a different uniform. To me, if they are on the floor, in a uniform, they better be in the book. Otherwise, stick to warm ups before their game.

Like I said, just like players and coaches are different, so are officials. I see no reason to T in this situation b/c I feel it could be handled w/out a T. Some would rather T and let it be done. I personally dont know why you would, except for the fact that you dont want to find out if this new face (V player) is on the V team or JV team. To me, the T is the easy way out.

I think now I remember why I don't visit the forums that much.
Use common sense - it's easy to determine if the player is on the JV team... He's either listed in the book or he isn't. Do whatever your assignor/interpreter tells you to do - they are the ones that assign your games - but I am just amazed that he can interpret the rules this way. |

Just shooing the kid off the floor seems easier to me then; Issuing a T, logging it in the book, advising the Coach of the seatbelt rule, shooting the FT's, administering the ball at midcourt, making sure the AP arrow is correct, and worst of all...buying the brewskys for the crew, after the game, for the BS you created by not just shooing the player off the floor.

Just fanning the flames a bit. But something I've learned is to never say that something can not happen during a basketball game. If it can happen it will at the worst possible time.

I think Chuck Elias is 100% correct. Granted, if you call the "T" maybe you save the kid from doing something really dumb at Tourney time but.....if you handle it with some restraint, you can teach the lesson and not detract from the atmosphere of the current contest. Nothing looks worse than the starting a 1/2 off with a "T" for something administrative. It poisons the second half.

If I really liked the dunk, if the kid showed me something, I would first ask for what AAU team he played in the off-season. If I wanted to recruit him, no T. Not.

Ok, I know Lefty and have met John. There is an interpreter's conference call this weekend with Peter Webb. Maybe one of them will bring this topic up for discussion. Quote:
Hopefully, we'll get some kind of resolution to this over the weekend.
