NCAA pregame

[curtstrouth]

Anyone have any insight on the NCAA pregame procedure? Is it the same as high school? Short and sweet with coaches and captains? Conference take place at the 9 minute mark after meeting coaches and checking book?

Thanks!

I had my 1st college game the other night. The captains meeting went like this. "No bull---- tonight guys. Good luck" I loved it. short and to the point.

I have my first college game tonight and I am going to keep it short and sweet!

Coaches' meeting consists of handshakes and a rhetorical 'how you doing'.

NCAAW: On the floor at 15:00. Captains at 12:30 -- "Visitors any questions? Home any questions? Who's speaking? Good luck." R checks the book. Leave. Return at 3:00. Meet the V Coach at 1:30 ("Hi, I'm Bob. Have a good game tonight". Meet the H Coach immediately after (Same spiel.)

I'ts all covered in the mechanics manual.

Nice, I have my first college game on Saturday, looking forward to the "short" pregame as well.

Part of that is incorrect for NCAAW.

According to the CCA manual you talk to the captain's at approx 14:30 on the clock (p. 36). Then between the 12:30 and 11:00 mark, the R checks the book and gets a game ball.

Bob,

Do you have an actual purpose for asking who's speaking?

It's required in NCAAW mechanics -- 3.1.4C.

You can also get this from the rule 3-2 ("The Captain" -- singular).

As a practical matter, though -- I'll talk to anyone who is polite, and if the person is not polite it doesn't matter that she's the captain.

(And, Thanks to TerpZebra for the correction on the pre-game activities / timing)

Both NCAA and Fed call for a Speaking Captain to be designated in the pre game, for formal communication.
but as you said as long as the person is polite I do not feel the need to make them go through their Speaking Captain.

4.8
A. Official Scorer
1. The scorer needs to make good eye contact with the calling
official on every foul. Discuss two-hand reporting
mechanic.
2. Review the signals that they will give the calling official
when they are in the bonus situation or double bonus and
stress that it is important to keep giving the signal even
after reaching the double-bonus situation.
3. On a disqualified player, the scorer needs to inform the
officials as soon as possible.
4. On a technical foul, one of the officials will come to the
table to ensure the foul is properly recorded.
5. If a player is ejected for fighting, the scorer will note it on
the scorebook and one of the officials will initial it.
6. The official scorer should keep the substitutes seated and
not allow them to enter until beckoned by the official.
7. The official scorer is responsible for not allowing subs to
re-enter the game without time running off the clock.
8. At the end of the game, the officials will look for the
thumbs up approval from the scorer that everything in the
book is correct. The official scorer should stand up and
make eye contact with the officials. At this time, if there is
a problem, the official scorer should notify the officials.
9. If officials must review a last-second field-goal attempt on
the replay monitor, the official scorer should be informed
of any decisions.

B. Official Timer
1. Find out if there will be media timeouts. Determine when
they will be taken and what signal the timer uses to
inform the officials.
2. Review the signals for all timeouts.
3. The official timer is responsible to let teams know when
there are three minutes remaining on the clock prior to the
beginning of the game or second half.
4. The timer should sound two horns on every timeout, one
15 seconds prior to the end of all timeouts and one at
the expiration of all timeouts.
5. The official calling the timeout will start the timeout and
the 20-second period for replacing a disqualified player
by pointing to the timer.
6. For a disqualified or bleeding player, or a lost/displaced
contact lens, the timer should give the officials two horns,
one at 5 seconds and one at 20 seconds if a substitute has
not yet reported.
7. The timer should stop the clock in the last 59.9 seconds of
the game after each made basket. The officials will, if
possible, remind the timer as the 1:00 mark nears.
8. If there is an error made, the timer should notify the
officials at once so that it may be corrected.
C. Official 30-Second Shot-Clock Operator
1. The shot-clock operator should be cautious in resetting the
shot clock. If not sure, she/he should not reset the clock. It
is easier to reset the clock, than try to put time back on the
clock.

2. Every time the shot-clock operator resets the clock, he/she
should know how much time was left on the clock prior to
resetting it. If there is an error made, it should be corrected
as soon as possible.
3. On an intentionally kicked ball, do not set the shot clock
until the officials give the proper signal. If the clock is 14
seconds or lower when the violation occurs, the shot clock
will be set to 15 seconds; if 15 seconds or above, the clock
will remain as is.
4. On a held-ball situation, do not reset the clock until
possession is determined.
5. On a double personal foul, do not reset the clock until the
official signals for a reset. If there is team or player control
or the offensive team has possession of the ball out of
bounds, there will not be a reset and the ball will return to
the offense.
6. The shot-clock operator should start the clock on touch,
except on a jump ball, free throw or rebound.
7. When the game clock shows less time than the shot clock,
the shot-clock operator should turn off the shot clock.

Thanks!

Do you think that maybe you should have bought a CCA manual or a rule book, or are you not taking this too seriously.
