Coach wants specific side on endline...
Official told me this happened to him the other day.
Coming out of a time-out, after a made basket by Team A...Coach B wants to know if it is alright to have the endline throw-in on the side (of the basket) closest to his bench. (He said he had already designed a play for that side.) Questions: Would you tell the Coach that you would stay in the same alignment that your crew was in on the made basket? Would you tell the Coach that his player could simply run to that side if they needed to run a play designed for that side of the basket? Would you tell the Coach, "no problem", and switch to the desired side that the coach requested? (Realizing that you have now created a switch in positions of the new L and new C.) |

Sounds to me like if it is after a made basket, he has the whole end line to run. Put the ball in play where you had designated to your crew as the TO was called. If that is not the side he wants to run the play from, then his playeris free to move to that spot after you administer the ball. Don't let a coach tell you where to put the ball at any time. JMO.

Unless, of course, the action happens in the paint. THen all bets are off. I, however, have never had a coach request a side. I have had them ask where the in-bounds would be, but never ask for a change of my call where it will be:eek:. How would you feel as the opposing coach if you heard THAT conversation? No way would I let a coach dictate anything like that to me. |
Not a big deal. I'd go to the side he wanted.

Right. I just wasn't clear. Those are two separate situations. Brevity isn't always the best.

But, I've never had a coach request a certain spot to begin a non-designated spot throw-in so I've never had to think about it. |

Anyway, consider yourself challenged :) |

And as I stated previously, I've never had a coach ask me to start the throw-in from a specific spot, they always just want to confirm that their player can run the base-line. |

If you have a rule to show I'm wrong I would be glad to see it. |
