Water Cooler Play - Actionless Contest?
NFHS rules.
Team B only has 4 players - B5 is not there yet, but is "almost there," on their way. Opening jump ball is tipped OB by B jumper. Team A, being told the game will re-start regardless, does not want to continue until the 5th player is there. A has the throw-in, and reaches across the boundary plane, drops the ball onto the playing court, and leaves it there. Neither team moves to get the ball. What do you do? |

Change this to the start of the 2nd half then. B5 left the game/injured. B6 is on the way. A has the arrow and does this. I know it's a crap water cooler play, but work with me here. I was racking my brain, and couldn't think of what I would tell someone to do.

Now since the game presumably counts, I seriously doubt that someone won't go after the ball.

The best suggestion that I've heard for this type of thing is to ask the coaches if they simply wish to shorten the quarters--perhaps to just a few seconds. That's allowed by the rules. Maybe they only wish to effectively play only one quarter of basketball or perhaps even less. If they don't want to play at all, then double-forfeit the game and go home. In any event it makes for a short night for the officials. |

Bizarro World ???

Any of you International Association of Approved "Bizarre" Officials guys, or gals, old enough, I mean, experienced enough, to remember this question? Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: This may be worth a trek up into your attic. It's March, and it has to have warmed up a little bit up there by now.
