I left my books at work tonight as I rushed off early to get to my game.

Huddles before free throws and out of bounds.... legal or not??

We talked about this in pregame and we were split between the 3 of us.

Help me out with the answer. NCAA-W rule only please

That would be a delay of game R10-3 AR1. This results in an indirect technical.

I would add to this; if they break the huddle on a FT by the time your partner turns after reporting, let it go. Yes, if the team huddles and delays, there is a penalty. On the OB, there is very little lag time, so that one is a no brainer.

I agree .

There is no official warning for this in NCAA, however, like there is in NFHS. So if it bugs you enough to do something about it, you have to call the T. Correct?

Rule 10-3.1c. Repeatedly delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly put in play, such as delaying the administration of a throwin or free throw by engaging in a team huddle any place on the
playing court.
1. One warning shall be given to a team that fails to comply; an indirect technical foul shall be assessed thereafter.

Ok, but what I meant is that we don't go and record it in the book, as an "official" warning, do we? In NCAA, we just blow the whistle and tell them to leave the ball alone after the basket, right? And that's the warning?

[IREFU2]

I think they can huddle if its a football game!!!! Just trying to lighten up the mood!!!!

[Jimgolf]

If the huddle takes no longer than the amount of time it would take a player at half court to move to the first lane position, then there really has been no delay.

IOW, let the high fives exchanges go, and clamp down on the strategy sessions.

Ultimately there is nothing wrong with the players huddling...the issue becomes whether or not that huddle is delaying the game. While I or my partner am reporting a foul, they can huddle all they want...as soon as we are ready for the free throw/throw-in, they have to be ready to play...and yes, that first warning is one that needs to be recorded somewhere - otherwise I'm gonna forget all about it 20 min. later.
