Clean This One Up ?
i show up for the last 2 games of the local Holiday Classic. Tourneys been going on for 67 million years or so. It's a fun little tourney and i try to make the last couple of games every year.
In the 5th/6th place game they had the following sitch. 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 ? |

I say you are correct. Plain and simple.

No seriously that level of game is probably a little out of my reach at this point. But I am a pretty competent Girls Varsity ref. :cool: |

Points count, shoot the T. Nothing supports taking points off the board; penalized when recognized.

I could see making this video reviewable at the appropriate levels (NCAA and NBA) and allowing the officials to cancel the points scored by the offending team. |
And, No, I'm Not Shemp ...

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 Who's there? New York 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. |
