2001-02 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SITUATION 9: At the end of their pre-game warm-up, players A1, A4, A5, A9 each dunk the ball and subsequently leave the floor and go to their dressing room. RULING: A technical foul is assessed to each player. The game starts with eight (8) free throws (2 for each of the technical fouls) and the ball is awarded to B at the division line opposite the table. Four team fouls toward the bonus are assessed to A. The head coach of A is assessed an indirect technical foul for each offense (4) and is subsequently ejected from the contest. Any coach assuming the responsibilities of the head coach for the game would not have the use of the coaching box. (10-3-5; 10-5 Pen)

Now you can cease debating this.

Is this where I get to say "I told you so"?

You obviously are not yet an esteemed member.

The coach must begin the game in a position within the box if he/she wishes to stand when permitted under the optional coaching-box provisions.

I wonder how many cowards are afraid to enforce this rule.

I reminded both VB coaches of that last night.

When I posted this question, I figured it had been handled in some casebook play somewhere. Just had to wait for you to enlighten me once again.

I know you have an archive of past interps posted. Is it searchable, meaning by keyword?

Sure, just open the thread entitled "Past Interps Archive" and use the pull down menu "Search this Thread" just above the first post.

This feature is available for all threads on this forum.

Just open the thread and hit CTRL-F (at least under IE). You can search any text-based web-site.

Works for Firefox, too, on Windows.

On a Mac, it's simply COMMAND-F.

Control-F works for Google Chrome, too.

This is, IMHO, one of the most stupid, over-officious, interpretations ever. (Right up there with it has to be an intentional foul if the coach yells "Foul".) You're going to deny a coach the privilege of standing for the entire game because he sat 13' from the endline, instead of 14' from the endline?

I thought there was an interpretation that said this isn't necessarily an intentional because it is part of their strategy?

NOW there is. But a couple years ago, we were instructed to call an intentional foul anytime we heard the coach yell "FOUL!" That lasted one year, because it was so. . . incorrect.

FWIW.
"Must call the intentional foul" was put in place in Rules 2000-01
It was cancelled in Rules 2005-06.
