Anyone here ever revoked a T?

[Spence]

Had my partner gotten together with me after whacking a kid for slapping the backboard on an obvious block attempt we would have revoked the T. However, he immediately reported it and THEN told me he realized as soon as he blew his whistle that it was a clean play.

I have never revoked a T or seen this happen, but I am sure it could under the right circumstances. For example, giving a T for some administrative reason only to find out later that there was no violation of the rules. But for conduct situation, I cannot see anyone taking that back. Nor would I advocate such an action.

I have twice seen Ts revoked, once in a men's rec league game and once in a boys varsity game. The rec league T came after the ref made a call and turned to report it. At that point a spectator threw the ball back to the ref, hitting him in the back of the head. When the ref wheeled around and saw a player laughing, he immediately signaled a T and ejected the player from the game thinking that the player had thrown the ball at him. Fortunately, his partner had witnessed the indicident and after a conference with both coaches, both the T and the ejection were revoked.

Second time was an administrative T for having the wrong number in the scorebook. After the T was called the Visitor's coach showed the book that they had submitted to the official scorekeeper, who had copied down a number wrong. After this was shown and the official scorekeeper agreed the error was his, this T was also revoked and play continued.

Not sure if either of these are allowed by rule, but the outcome seems equitable in both cases.

So many times coaches around here tell the table to fill in their team. If I'm around, I ask if the table would rather the coach do it. If they agree to fill in the sheet, the coach must confirm the lineup before we progress.

If the table does one team, then it's reasonable that they do both teams. Often in tournaments, the table only gets a break for those 12-15 minutes between games, so I make sure that they get that break. Also, this is when they get a chance to eat something - or visit the freshroom etc...
