Repeated Lane Violation

[RushmoreRef]

You mean the team that is violating, correct? Do they get a warning? Would it fall under the "actionless contest" ruling for a technical foul?

Thanks for the input.....that's kinda what I figured it would have to be.

Good question on the arrow and the last should have been a double violation.....It may have been that he messed up and banked it in.....

If the coach tells me (as Trail) what he's going to do; I'm telling him right away that it'll be a T the 2nd time. I'll have to check my book when I get home tonight, but I'm pretty sure you have the right rule in mind.

There are some NFHS rules that deal with an actionless contest. Please see Rule 10-5 and note the words "similar acts". I don't think that the situation described in the thread falls into the category of being a "similiar act" resulting in an "actionless contest", but I'm sure some Forum members would be more than willing to contribute their opinion.

Wouldn't the T be on the team committing the repeated lane violation due to unsportsmanlike conduct, i.e. trying to negate an opponent's obvious advantage? I seem to always read that phrase in the case book.

Wouldn't it have been smarter to just save the freaking timeout for the second miss? I'll never understand coaches.

Maybe because 2 seconds were on the clock and there woulda been maybe only 1.7 after the miss and time out to go the full length of the floor?

Or they may not get even GET the rebound on a miss?

IMO good timeout.

But I woulda given a plan B to my team when A used his timeout...

No, it's a bad timeout, because the coach is knowingly and intentionally breaking the rules hoping to gain an advantge...that is completely unethical and actually breaks the NFHS Coaches Associations code of conduct.
