Delay of Game Warning

[Indianaref]

Q. A team may be issued a delay-of-game warning following a time-out for water on the floor. T or F

I say false because 4-47-4 does not say anything about "may". I believe that you have no option, NFHS wants an immediate warning issued or a T if that team had already been issued a previous delay-of-game warning. What say you.

[just another ref]

True. We have an option on every call, if you want to look at it that way.

I believe this is what's referred to as "reading too much into the question." The answer is true, because this is one of the four situations for which the officials are allowed to issue a DOG warning.

Thanks, I'm glad I asked.

BTW, we all have this tendency.

I stayed after my game to watch the GV the other night. Visiting team breaks the huddle after a time out where they stood out on the court and had water. I look over to see one of the subs sitting on the floor wearing sweat pants. She appeared to be "mopping up" some water that spilled. IMHO this would have been a poor time for a DOG warning, since the team was proactively policing themselves. Regardless, the R "may" have issued one, and would have been correct to do so.

"May" v. "shall"
