Just curious... why would you want to piggyback a TO?

I can tell you why I'd like to do it.
I'm lazy.

Speaking of piggybacking...I'm officiating Jr. Hi. Girls' right now and I get all these "good 'ol boys" that don't/can't run and don't follow any kind of mechanic. It gets a bit frustrating, but I just work on my mechanics and allow them to do what they wish.

The calling official reports the technical foul, but it is suggested (it might even be the official mechanic now) that the non-calling official tell the head coach that he's lost the coaching box privileges (if applicable).

If it's a player's fifth foul, the same thing should happen. The calling official reports it, then the non-calling official notifies the coach and starts the 20 second timer, then notifies the player.

Years ago, I had a buddy tell me about a situation that happened in one of his wreck league games. A coach got so mad at his partner for calling a T that he punched him in the mouth and almost knocked him out!

I only relate this because this is the one time of which I am aware that the non-calling official reported the technical.

And hopefully the flagrant T that followed!

Thanks for all the responses. I thought I had read somewhere that the non-calling official would report. Perhaps I had confused that with what Scrapper is stating here, of the non-calling official telling the head coach. I thought the reference was in the Officials Manual, but I do no have my book.

I had an "R" tell me in a pregame a couple years ago it saves time and legs. Me being a younger man at the time, legs didn't need much saving. But I can see where he was coming from. IF the new trail is administering a throw-in after a made basket and the thrower calls time out piggybacking the TO to the center who happens to be on the table side doesn't hurt much. Plus, I think at one time this was allowed. I would have to defer to the elder statesmen of the forum for that.

When I saw the thread topic "NFHS Mechanics Question", I thought you were asking where we get our cars repaired.

Can you tell I ran out of meds?

If you need your car's horn fixed, you should take it to a boy scout. After all, their motto is "Beep Repaired."

You get a "10" for that one, Bob.

BTW - when I was a kid, I was a Girl Scout. I would scout for girls.

A few weeks ago, a Boy Scout troop was fund raising outside a local grocery store. They were amazed that I could still remember the Boy Scout oath and the 12 points of the Scout Law even though I left Scouts over 45 years ago. Sometime I'll tell you the story of when we blindfolded a kid we didn't like and then tied him to a tree at Scout camp. And....it was the Scoutmaster's son!

I liked the old formulation of Girl Scout cookies, before they stopped making them with real Girl Scouts.

Got a lot of spare time on your hands?? Why not take over for Bruce, instead of punishing the readers of this forum??
