Mockery or not
AAU woman's tournament today. Team A was leading by about 15 points with under 2 minutes to play. Team A decided they were not going to play defense and only play offense. In obvious disgust for his team's inability to play defense (all of a sudden) the coach of team A instructs his girls to throw the ball out of bounds every time they have possession of the ball. So team B would score, team A would inbound the ball and immediately throw the ball out of bounds. Team A's coach then instructed his team to play defense. This repeated until the end of the game.
Team A still won the game but was coach making a mockery of the game deserving a T or are other officials ok with this tactic and say play on? |

No (at least not for an official). It's right to think this is "wrong", but it's wrong to think an official can make it right.

This example isn't a mockery of the game. A mockery of the game was something like I had once in a rec league game -- some idiot decides that since they are losing, we're to blame and he's going to show us. He grabs a live ball and starts running with it without dribbling. My partner called a travel, I said, no, that's the ball game (~30 seconds left). League director came down and kicked his team out!

"Time Is Of The Essence" ???
Does it make any difference if this occurs at the beginning of the fourth period? How about the beginning of the second half? In a high school varsity game?
