Had it last night also. Didn't have starters in the book, and no one out on the court warming up - they went to their locker room before we came out and weren't back before we left at 10:00. No biggie - they messed up. This was in an NCAA game, so we shot the two shots and then still got to toss it up.

I wish you were the official at a game I was at a few years back. NCAA-W. Visiting team leaves the floor at ~12 minutes to go and visiting coach never gives her starting 5. Team returns to the floor with 5 mins to go and she finally gives tsarters and tells the table it's their job to go get her in the locker room if she hasn't given them starters. She got no T.

When I was in college, we got a T to start the game because in the previous game, we had a player not play for whaetever reason, and I had copied our lineup from the sheet without him. and given that to the home scorer. One of my firends played for the opponent and he still teases me about that. :P

Yes, I had a game in which a starter was wearing 00, but was listed as 0.

I wrote a thread about it on here and it generated quite a response.

0 or 00

I have started atleast a game a year with FT's, Once for dunking.

We as officials just have to treat T's as just another foul, it is no big deal, especially to start a game. If more officials would give a T when it is warranted instead of talking or warning until certain activities would soon cease to occur.

And you are still wrong.

There are three kinds of mathematicians in the world: Those that can count and those that can't.
