Overtime Chaos
BV game, 3-man crew, 1st overtime. Preparing for jump to start OT. R is waiting outside center circle, U1 & U2 are in position for jump. Team A has six players on the floor ready for the toss. Team B coach is screaming for a technical foul against Team A. Team A coach gets A6 off the floor prior to Referee entering center circle for the toss. The question is, at what point during the the start of the OT, would you call this T?

This is where a
Little preventive officiating is helpful. It should be someones job to make sure there are only five from each team. I am making eye contact with my partner prior to stepping in and tossing the ball. Once the ball is made live I have a "T" but I cn't think of to many times where there isn't sone responsibility by the official for having to many players on the court.

Ball is not live until the leaves the had of the R on the toss. The reason officials ref at higher levels is because they know how to not only manage game but prevent situations that should not effect the game. Just because a coach is yelling does not make him right. The crew did a good job.

Gotta agree with the previous posters. NO WAY am I giving a T for this. I look at Team A coach and say, "Coach, someone has to come off." End of discussion. Team B Coach can yell all he wants. My response, "Coach, that's enough." Now, to avoid this in the future . . .
While looking at the players on the floor, point your index finger toward ONE of the players and say ONE. Then proceed to point your index finger at a different player ON THE SAME TEAM, and say TWO. Repeat process for players 3, 4, and 5. THEN . . . repeat the SAME process for the opposing team's players (1-5). You should never have more than FIVE (5). IF you do, calmly ask the coach of the "almost offending" team to kindly remove one of his/her players. All-in-all should take about 7-10 seconds, but will save a lot of time later when you have to administer that Technical Foul that the Team B coach is yelling about. PREVENTATIVE OFFICIATING! |

And no, it was over-simplified. But as for not pointing and counting, I guess all those D1 & D2 evaluators and assignors really don't know anything after all. All the evaluators and assignors I work with say, POINT AND COUNT so you are certain. I guess I shouldn't listen to the guys and gals who are giving me those games. Does an official HAVE to point and count, NO. Does it help when you have 10-12 players mingling around one another, YES! |

Whenever I see a team come out with six, I go over to the coach and say loudly, "Coach - new rule this year - you only get five players." It usually gets a laugh and I've never had a problem with the other coach. Of course, you have to catch it before the ball becomes live.

bigdogrunnin, I was offended greatly by your initial reply. If it wasn't intended to be degrading or demeaning, then I apologize sincerely for over reacting. We are all fellow Officials in the trenches every night. We get enough crap from everyone else without giving it to one another. For my comments, I retract, and I am sorry.
My original question is "at what point during the the start of the OT, would you call this T?" If you have notified the coach, and stated that somebody has to go, which we did. At what point during the game is this a T? 1. When R enters the circle? 2. When R releases the toss? 3. When ball is tapped? 4. When possession is gained by either team?

If preventative doesn't work, then this event is like waiting for the other shoe to drop. I would expect the other two on the crew to note that six are still on from one team. Once I toss the ball and it's touched immediately a whistle should sound and indicate six on the floor. We then shoot two and take the ball at 1/2 court. Once the ball is inbound, we then set the arrow. Due to possession not being established at the toss, it is pointed away from the team that inbounds the ball. (I think that's right)
