Defensive Match-up Request..

[amcginthy]

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.

So how much time is allowed - or is it just judgement...

Thanks.

Thanks.

As it long as it takes me to administer the throw-in..

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.

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.
