"X" on the Floor
What is your boards proceedure about the "x" not being on the floor? Do you grab tape and place on down or call GM to do so?
|
We inform game management of the situation and have them properly place the "X."

Usually would do this, but one gym I will have several games in has such a small boundary area in front of the tabel that the player would be on the floor if there was an X so they have to report to their side and stay there. No room for even one very skinny kid. |
We "point it out" if missing. Same with our 6" coach's box.
Our association requests we pass them a note and they notify schools - not the individual ref's. |
Some advice - if you have a school that repeatedly does not have an X down when you do their games, take some spray paint with you and put it down yourself. They'll get the hint. Plus - it gives the custodian some overtime. :rolleyes:

Connecticut Coach's Box
Our association, here in Connecticut, has finally decided to take a strict, proactive approach regarding a properly marked, or a lack of, coach's box.
If a coach's box is not properly marked, we have been instructed by our association, to request that the home management (athletic director, site director, coach, etc.) mark each coach's box with tape. If the home management refuses, i.e. "We're not allowed to put tape on our gymnasium floor", then the home coach will lose the right to use the coach's box and will only be allowed to stand under the old "seat belt" rule, which we haven't used here in Connecticut since 1989. The visiting coach will be allowed to stand in front of his or her bench area. We have also been instructed to call our association assignment commissioner or secretary the next day. These guidelines will be in effect for all levels, middle school, freshman, junior varsity, and varsity. |

So as far as the question on the NFHS test with the X on the floor, what would you do?
"When the facility does not have an "X" on the floor in front of the scorer, the home team is assessed a technical foul." I have never had this issue as they always just take the time to put some tape down, so would this question then be true if they don't? |
