Clean This One Up ?

[Mark Padgett]

This is the same situation that happened in the Portland - Boston NBA game the other night (see appropriate thread). Everything that happens before the violation is discovered counts. Of course, the Blazer TV commentators got it wrong.

BTW - I'm Curly.
Knock knock

New York who?
Nyork, nyork, nyork

I posted on a thread a while ago that Curly was actually a decent HS basketball player - not kidding. Read it somewhere reliable.

The Home team takes a time out. After the time out they apparently put 6 players on the court. Neither official catches it. They make a three. They then steal the inbounds and make another three. Then they steal the ball again and make a lay-up. At this point the refs catch that they have 6 players on the court...

Any thoughts on the clean up. The refs came up with take the points off the board and issued a T for 6 players on the court.

My thinking is the points count, shoot the T, and eat the grief.

What say you ?

That's all you can do. My guess is that crew will, and should, have to eat a lot of grief.

You are right. Of course, you already knew that.

This is yet another example of people with poor rules knowledge getting assignments. It is absolutely imperative that at least one member of a varsity crew have a solid understanding of the rules.

It is my opinion that those three individuals embarrassed your officiating association with their handling of that situation. Very sad.

Keep working hard, and it won't be long before you begin being assigned to such games in favor of these folks.
