Question - Officials manual states on p20 - "Starting a period - the throw-in to start the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters AND ANY EXTRA PERIOD shall be administered by the R at the division line opposite the table". Shouldn't this be Toss for extra period? Are they referring to the situation where the extra period is starting as a result of a technical foul in which case after T you would administer at the D line opposite table.

There might be another reason to do this.
For example: You're the R on a crew and you've got an inexperienced U2 (first college game, first varsity game, whatever) and you can tell they are noticeably nervous about the game. By asking them to handle the opening toss, you are providing them a way to get involved in the game before the first second tips off the clock -- that way they are engaged with the action, and won't be tentative if they've got to make a big call out of the gate. Just a thought. |

I know of at least one offcial on our local board who doesn't like to toss, and I know another who always like to toss.

We have to remember that our toss along with our first several calls or no calls set the tone for the game and we def. Want to get the game started right with a fair and legal toss. Happy Thanksgiving. |

I won't call one back unless I'm laughing too hard to not call it back. Last night I was working a boys scrimmage. I'm about 5'9" and the two guys jumping were about 6'6" each. I toss one handed, pushed up from my palm. I just knew the guys were going to try to "steal" the jump, so I went to toss it and put a little hitch on and both jumpers jumped early and looked really silly doing it. All their teammates were laughing at them. THEN I threw it up. |
