For the record, I take it that you are you following the same philosophy as Nevada. You advocate calling 3-seconds strictly as defined in the rules, with no warning, etc. And if a FT shooter takes 11 seconds, that's an immediate violation. Correct? The bottom line is that each official has to decide their own philosophy as to what to call or not call. Obviously, nothing that is being posted here will change your philosophy either. That's fine too. |

Here we go
If I am going to give a warning it's going to before 3 seconds, and yes I will blow the whistle if a FT shooter takes 11 seconds because by the time he catches the ball and I have visually started my count it's more than likely been longer than 11 seconds anyway. BTW - have you EVER come close to calling that one? I don't think that I've ever gotten close to 10. I did not tell anyone how to call their game - or at least didn't intend to but I can't be responsible for how everyone interprets what they read. I did question however, not making calls in situations that they don't deem to be very important. If I missed something in the book could you please give me the specific rule that allows for this. In some threads some of the same people are very firm about making a call to the letter of the rule - but in other threads feel it's not as important. My real question is: not important to who? What if a team loses a game because a FT was counted when toe is on line whether a whole toe or an eighth of an inch. That would be important to the losing team IMO I'm sorry if you have somehow been offended by my view or questions. I guess that I just feel that if you don't call something that you see because at the time you don't feel it significant - that same call could have a huge impact in the outcome of the game.

4 seconds left in a varsity game. Team A trails by 2. A1 is fouled and awarded a 1-and-1. As he rises to the balls of his feet to release his first free throw, the toe of his sneaker touches the edge of the free throw line. I submit to you that if you call that violation and essentially end the game in that situation that you simply don't understand what's important in the game of basketball. That toe barely touching the edge of that line has nothing to do with the game and should not be called a violation. And I know that a college assignor would kill you for calling it. A high school assignor might not kill you, but I bet you'd get a phone call explaining the facts of life in no uncertain terms. |

You're going to call the game the way you call the game - that does not make it right nor wrong. However - please don't say that I am mistaken. Quote:

Do what you want but IMO you are not correct in this situation Quote:
I guess it's just different strokes for different folks. Neither one of us is going to change the other's mind and we both feel the other is mistaken. But - for the record - I do respect and enjoy reading many of the posts you have put out in the past. I find I agree with you in most situations. Sometimes it's good to air out differences - this being one of those times. Happy and safe holidays

Now this I totally agree with! The biggest hassles I've had with the college coaches/players complaining occur when we do a series of games over the holidays. Teams have come from all over the nation and we'll often hear coaches complain that they don't "get that in Carolina" or "that's a focus point where we play". That said - we don't get many complaints with the conference teams in either bracket.

It's very difficult to write specific words that correclty and clearly convey to all people how they should be applied in all situations. Another attempt at explaining what Scrapper and I (and others) mean: Look at what you need to look at. IOW, if a player is alone in the backcourt, you don't need to watch him / her very closely. So, if there's a "minor" palming, or travel, you probably won't (shouldn't) see it. If there's a press, you need to watch, and you will (should) see it. |

Now you've confused the heck outa me. You previously made a a comment about the NFHS and NCAA not saying that we should interpret rules our own way. You also above question officials for not making calls in situations that they don't deem important. But........you're still prepared to warn someone for 3-seconds instead of just calling it according to the rulebook? If I missed something in the book, could you please give me the specific rule that allows for this? Afaik, there's no provision in either the NCAA or NFHS rules for "warnings" instead of actually calling 3-second violations. If you're warning somebody, aren't you....gasp....interpreting the rules your own way? Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Wed Dec 12, 2007 at 03:16pm. |

and no I'm not interpreting the rules my own way - show me the rule that says I can't warn someone in the lane before 3 seconds by saying "keep moving" or "in and out".

You're the one that wants to follow the rules. Just tell me what rule you're following when you warn a player instead of just waiting for the 3 seconds to lapse. |

Do you still call 3 seconds as soon as that count is up, even though a player may have heard your warning and is already in the process of leaving the lane? |
