A game you never want to have

First, as BillyMac points out, once the game started, it's too late to assess the T. You said the T was assessed *AFTER* the tip-off. So, the officials were wrong here (if this is what happened).

Then, you say that the official book had the correct starters listed. So, there should have been no T at all.

What really happened?

Knew a couple of officials years ago that were evaluated during a girls game where the winning margin was about 70 points (and it wasn't that close). They absolutely got ripped for not hustling, inconsistent foul and violation calls, and several other things.

Don't know if anybody else has had that experience, but the soccer portion of our association adopted a policy that a score difference of x would not provide a sufficient backdrop for an "official" evaluation. Evaluators could still advise for a lop-sided game, but the evaluation could not count either in your favor or against you. Whether that is a good or bad idea is up for debate I suppose.

Like I stated, I wasn't doing table so I don't have the true 1st hand of what happened. However I was behind the table doing crowd control.

The administrative error was found as the ball was in the air for the jump ball. The official book was verifying the visitor starters with the visitors' book, before the ball was put into play, however this was not completed until after the jump ball. Only about 2-3 seconds had ticked off the game clock.

It seemed like no one had an understanding of what had happened until after the fact. The floor officials conferred before the administrative T was assessed.

If the official book was correct (and it seems it was from your description), the T should not have been given even if the visitors' book needed to be changed..

If the ball was tossed before it was recognized, it's too late; as has been pointed out.

Either the officials blew this one big time, or the version you received is not correct. My guess would be that you got an incorrect version of the events.

Wondering if you're just "egging him on."

I've 'egged' him on in a few other posts and he's handled it pretty well.

He's had some amusing posts which beg further digging.

Just conversational, no attack mode.

If you mean what was I doing behind the table doing crowd control, In the main gym, the table is located right in front of the hallway to the locker rooms. Since the visitors' bench is on the far sideline from the gym entrance, I was there to make sure only the teams & officials went into the hallway.

Speaking of bench setups, which is the normal setup: Home to the right of the table, or home team to the left of the table?

I was figuring that was the case as both setups are being used, I just wasn't sure if there was anything set in stone.

Thanks Bob

It is set in stone. The home team decides and the officials have nuthin' to do with it.

Now go find that in the rule book. It's in there.

Shoo, shoo.......

Be sure that you banish any non game participants who step on the playing surface
