I haven't seen this happen since 7th grade
 
I read about this in the LaFayette IN newspaper (jconline.com) This was a sectional tourney game and at the opening tip off the teams lined up wrong, after 10-15 seconds when the fans in the stands started yelling everyone figured out what was wrong so the refs stopped play let the team that had the ball take it out of bounds and turned the teams around so they were going the right way. It was handled correctly but I bet it won't happen to them again. It shows how you really have to be on top of things all the time.

Happened here in Chicago with a two man crew that was the Comcast game of the week which ran for about six weeks on cable for everyone to see.

Rut mentioned he knew one of the officials and was going to dog him on it.........

Sitch happens.
