Coach late in bringing team out for 2nd half
Had a couple of newer officials ask me how to handle this.
They had asked some other veteran officials in our association and had gotten different answers. Situation: Boys JV Team A has delayed coming back on the court, from the locker room, to start the 2nd half. Game management sent someone to the locker room to advise Coach A that he needs to get his team on the floor....still no team A. Officials use the resumption of play procedure and put the ball on the floor...since the arrow was Team A's. Violation...officials give ball to Team B for throw-in...Team B goes in for an uncontested lay-up. Officials decide not to put ball on floor again and issue a T on Team A. Coach is now coming back from locker room as Team B is shooting the 2 FT's for the T. Coach A says nothing...and later says he is fine with the procedure used. Did the officials use the correct procedure? What would you have done if you were the R? 10-1-5a 10.1.9 COMMENT |

Immediate technical foul as per rule cited above--10-1-5(a). |
Yes...JR...that's what I told them...immediate T.
But, doesn't it seem the wording in 10.1.9COMMENT is kind of confusing? |
Shouldn't this be a T one minute after the clock expired for half time?

If the team is not on the floor, it's an immediate T if they're missing for a full minute. |

?? In summary, Team A has not returned to the floor by the time the game is set to resume - result is a Technical on Team A. Two FTs and Team B gets the ball at the division line.
At what point do you let Team B inbound? Do you wait for Team A. And if Team A at the possesion arrow they keep it? |

#1.) It is the referee responsibility to notify the teams 3 minutes before the half is to begin. Did you do this? With this in mind, we can now throw out any technical fouls or the RPP and attempt to find out why the team is not there. Something major could have happened like a player getting sick and needing hospitalization. Here you are on the court giving a team a technical, dumb, imo. #2.) You can not put the ball in play and one of the teams is not present. The rules do not allow you to do that. That was wrong, imo. Quote:
In the event, that someone from the table went to notify them. When the coach came out from the locker room, I would ask him if he was notified. If the team says no, I would do some quick investigating. Find out who the table person was, etc, etc. enforce from there. The reason I say this; I had a college game where the home team table personal did not notify the opposition that the halftime was about over, and it was a good little walk from the locker room to the floor. My guess is they did that to try and get the visiting team a technical. Rivalry schools.... |

That said, the OP stated that game management had already notified the coach. If we find out something major had happened; I'm going to retract the T and suspend the game. Quote:
