What to do???
 

R is lead and U1 is trail. 2 man mechanics. All the sudden U1 has to go... and its one of those all the sudden have to go or your gonna mess yourself moments.

What is the proper mechanic for this situation??

NF or NCAA rules? :rolleyes:

I joke. .but only half joking.. in all seriousness.. what do you do in this situation.

what if its you??

It depends.

Actually, it did happen to one of my partners last year. During play, he caught my eye and pointed to the men's room. I nodded that I understood and he just ran off the court. I moved into one-person position until he came back.

Of course, he told me before the game he wasn't feeling well. I just made sure we didn't share whistles. ;)

You can stop play and allow the official to do his business. 5-8-2-d allows the official to stop play for "any emergency." I'd say necessary movement in the backcourt is an emergency.

I'd have the players go to their respective benches and then resume play when the red-faced official returns to the floor.

Just one more item to add to my bag. :D

Necessary movement in the backcourt.. LOL

that is great.

OK.. good. I got a double today I think I'll be ok, but the tummy is rumbling a little.

Maybe try some Pepto ASAP.

Yep.. thats what I was thinking.

This might be an item you want to put on before leaving home.

I'm just saying. :)

It does not sound like you guys had a proper pre-game.

Maybe I should "cut and paste" you the mechanics. :D

Peace

Come on JRut, do us all a favor and make this your PRE-pre-game!!! Unless of course you are working with two ladies, then have at it, the castle is yours....

You might also want to take along a cork. BTW - the official term for this type of stoppage of play is BTO (bio time out). :D

OK - let's not get into jokes about "taking too much crap from coaches". It's just too easy. :p
