game plat situation #2

[DanIvey]

BktBallRef, you had some good points in your reply to RookieDude's Post.

But, I have to disagree with you on the warning to a player dunking in the pregame warmups.

Three years ago my partner and I were doing a H.S. Boys Varsity Game. During the pregame warmups I heard what sounded like a dunk, I didn't see it as I was watching the Home team warm up. As I looked over, I see my partner "quietly" walk over to the player and tell him something.

Well, the Home Team coach saw everything. The dunk, the "warning", and my partner walking back to where I was at midcourt.

The Coach was livid! He said, "where in the rules does it say you warn a player for dunking...if you saw it, CALL IT! If you don't want to call it...then ignore it...don't
warn him!"

We didn't "T" the player for the dunk...but the Coach had a point.
