Defensive Match-up Request..
I should probably know this as a coach... But can someone explain to me a "request for defensive match-up"...
I'm assuming this means that if 3 players enter, if requested, players get some time to recognize and figure out "who's got who" - for lack of better term... Thanks. Coach M |
Yep
You got it coach.

Since this rule changed back, I have not had one time I can think of this was an actual request. If you take your time to put the ball in anyway, they will match up appropriately anyway. I would not spend a lot of time worrying about this rule.
Peace |
As the others have said, I don't think there is a set time. I like JRut have never had the request. When we have "mass" substitutions, as an official you can tell when they are matched up. I just delay putting the ball in play until it appears they are matched up.

thanks. I'm studying to take the officials exam and am attending 2 camps this summer - and I was just looking for a clarification of the rule - I had never heard or seen a request - just what you said - officials usually just wait until everyone is pretty much ready. |
Are you leaving coaching to join the dark side? :D Or just trying to learn how to better use "the force"?

If we ever have another alumni game at our college and I'm on the floor when the Varsity puts in 3 or more people, you can bet I'll test this rule. :D

Had one...
Had one request this year, was actually surprised that the coach knew the rule.

Like most said, there really is no set time limit. I would use common sense. If they were matching up, go to preventive officiating mode. Remember when you have mass subs, they can be your game disrupters, so take the extra time to watch them/talking to them.

1) What exactly <b>is</b> a game disrupter, and could you give me some examples? 2) How substitution can be a "game disrupter"? 3) You said "talking to them". What would you say to a sub? |

So to answer your question, surely it's judgement. The amount of time they get should be measured by the official's definition of "ample" or "nuff" time. |
