Scorer/Timer NCAA
Something came up the other day in a men's juco game. I called an indirect T on a player, reported to the table, administered, we played on....later during a timeout I wondered "does the scorer & timer/scoreboard operator know that this T is indirect and therefore should not count against team foul count and 1/5 to DQ on the player?" Fortunately I went over and asked and they had recorded it incorrectly, so we got it fixed and it didn't impact the game at all as far as being in the bonus, etc. My question though is should the table be expected to understand all of these NCAA rules re: techs, or do you literally have to explain when you report to them that "technical foul 33 white, indirect does not count towards tfc, nor towards 1/5 to DQ on the player"?

I would always go to the table and make sure that the scorer records the "T" in the right way and that it is being counted right. This protects you and prevents a potential problem later in the game. |
I agree with Gimlet and do the same in HS games.

I agree that the scorer should know what's going on, however . . .
I've been doing the book at the D-I level for 7 years now. I read the rulebook and try to figure out what the direct and indirect T's are, and I know how each counts towards the team and individual foul total. Even with the reorganization, though, I can't 100% figure out what's what, and the refs don't always make it clear in their reporting. |
