pre game warm up limitations

[missinglink]

Gone to the darkside, now a HS coach. Less than 15 min prior to game, and officials are on the floor. Asking if a team can use the other team's basket during warm up if the other team is not on the court or is my team limited by rule to their ssigned warmup end.

Nope. Stay on your side.

Although in 21 years I've never seen it happen, I (will have to look it up now) believe the visiting team has the choice of basket and bench.

Does anybodyy know/remember for sure?

Actually, according to Rule 1-13-1, the bench decision is made by game management (i.e. the home team in most cases).

SECTION 13 TEAM BENCH LOCATIONS, COACHING BOX, BENCH AREA
ART. 1 . . . The location of each team's bench shall be designated by game
management. It is recommended that the benches for team members and
coaches of both teams be placed along that side of the court on which the
scorer's and timer's table is located.

Nothing in the rules. Depends on the state.

I'd allow it, here.

I agree - just get off the other side when the other team is coming out.

Agree completely.

Stay on your side in South Carolina.

Under 15 minutes, I'm not going to allow it. I can just picture the team entering the floor with some fancy warmup routine and me getting the other team to go to their end. What happens when they take their time and begin to "unintentionally" interupt the routine? It might not be a good start to the game.
