old discussion revisited

[Raymond]

I would like for at least the administrative T's in the NFHS rule set to go to POI.

It's not beyond the realm of plausibility that a home team scorer would purposely wait until the visiting team has the ball to point out scorebook error.

I agree with this.

I'd like that better as well. Administrivia, while important, is not the game and should be as unobtrusive to the game as possible, IMHO.

This would mean that on a book T to start the game, we would still use the jump ball to set the arrow.

Skip the FT's all together on administrative.

Why should someone get 2 FT's on a bookkeeping error, but the first 6 non shooting fouls of the game are not FT's?

Mark them up as a team foul and move on????

I think the original thinking was that "administrative" errors could be intentional and deceptive to try to gain some kind of advantage. Obviously, virtually all are just "honest" mistakes but there's no way to know the intent so they just assume worst case scenario.

At least that's what Dr. Naismith once told me.

Was Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. your partner in that game?
