Shootarounds during halftime

[chseagle]

Is there a rule/regulation from the NFHS that states that during halftime, the team in the next contest can go out onto floor for a shootaround?

I had this situation happen tonight during both the C-Sqaud (Visiting JV Shootaround @ Halftime) & JV (Visiting V Shootaround @ Halftime).

How I understand rules/regulations, th only ones allowed on the floor at halftime are those doing floor sweeps, dance/drill, a school-sponsored fundraiser shoot, or the teams returning from halftime. The only time allowed for a team for shootaround/warmups is the time immediately before their game. The AD allowed them to. Am just wanting a clarification.

No. Man if you are going to continue to look for ways to bust people, maybe you should get a rulebook.

I was just curious if there was a specific ruling was all. I thought I remembered hearing something before, I was just curious, if it was true.

LMAO, Well we were also playing in the secondary gym, so the rules are a bit more relaxed, than in the main gym.

It wasn't till after the fact, I learned of the AD allowing it.

From the reactions of the visiting coaches, they are allowed to do the shootarounds during the halftime of the game previous to their game, no matter where they're playing.

Generally, the rule was in either gym last year, that no one was allowed on the floor at halftime, unless dance/drill halftime performance, floor sweepng, or a school activity fundraiser. So I was thinking of the rules that were in play at the site from last year.

They can do what they want during halftime up to the 3 minute mark. I'm on break.

That's right. Time to get a quick smoke and a beer.

Unfortunately, the 1st game of the night, Boys' C-Squad had only a 5 minute halftime, not enough time for a smoke & brew.

The floor officials came to the table for the book check & mentioned that the halftime would be 5 minutes. I asked why the 5 minute half, when I had paperwork in front of me stating 10 minute halftime (Instructions to & Duties of the Timer for basketball games off the NFHS website), showed where on the paperwork it stated that & so they asked the coaches about the 5 minute halftime, both coaches said let's do it.

The response was both coaches agreed to the shorter halftime. I had the rules/regulations in front of me saying 10 minute halftime. Who was right & who was wrong?

The following below is listed under Timing Regulations on the aforementioned document:
"For teens of high school age — four quarters of eight minutes
each with intermissions of one minute after the first and third
quarters and 10 minutes between halves. Halftime may be
extended to a maximum of 15 minutes upon proper notification."

This isn't a "situation." This is just kids who are playing in the next game getting some shots in. What's the big deal? It's not part of the officiated game. If the site administrator doesn't have a problem, why the need to step in and control.

I think we're all a little perplexed by chseagle's seeming need to bust balls and run the show. Perhaps it's just his style of writing.

Maybe he is an eagle in old school's clothing.

We have a phrase for such kids around here: gym rats (Rattuss palestra). Whenever there is an unused hoop, they come out of the woodwork.

As an official, I will keep them off the court between the first and second period, the third and fourth period, and during timeouts, but I don't give a Rattus palestra's *** how many come out during the halftime intermission, as I said earlier, I'm taking my break, having a beer, and grabbing a smoke.
