2 strange questions...
BV game;
during warm-ups, a player was wearing an Ipod....what is the ruling on this? also, during the 3 quarter of a blowout (40 point rule/running clock in effect), the coach of the team that is winning gets up from his seat, walks down the sideline along the bench toward the baseline and continues to walk out of the gym (while the ball is in play). He doesn't coach, yell, attract attention to himself, he just walks out. Being a blowout, my partner and I went on with business as usual. About 5 minutes later, the coach came back and sat down. Any thoughts? A number of reasons crossed my mind (maybe he was sick, emergency phone call)...he didn't cause a scene or anything bizarre. thoughts? |

as far as the second one i guess technically you could call him out of the box, but under the circumstances the no call seems correct..maybe he just couldn't hold it for another minute, we've all been there! again, have never seen this specifically addressed anywhere though... man this is a strange game sometimes... |

i dont see anything wrong with either -- the rule says a player cannot leave the confines (i am not sure if it specifies unantended or not) -- but if the coach left he must have had a reason. hopefully there is an assistant there to take over responsibility for the team or the captain in his absence.
just make sure the ipod comes out before the game starts |

I would ask the kid to take the IPOD off during warmups. Just like we make the earrings come out during warmups. Just like we make the rubber bands come off the wrists in warm ups. Its just not appropriate.
I wouldn't do anything about the coach leaving either. I wouldn't stop a player from going to the locker room either. The consequences could be messy. Last edited by Ignats75; Wed Jan 31, 2007 at 03:56pm. |

it sounds like it is a question of whether or not it is illegal during warm ups; obviously they can't wear earrings and the like during the game, but (and i dont have my rulebook infront of me) unless it is clearly illegal during warm ups, i guess no harm no foul.

I'd tell him to remove the Ipod. I'd use rule 2-3.
Keep in mind that if during the warm ups anything happens to him, a fall, a trip anything and his gets his ears damaged and you knew he had the Ipod in, you can be held responsible. The second one, Nothing, the man had to go to the BR. |

The Ipod is a no-no too. Anything that is a possible danger to others isn't allowed. Geeze, what next? A kid trying to make a lay-up in warmup while carrying a boombox? Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Wed Jan 31, 2007 at 04:09pm. |
