Coaches questioning table crew

While that's a problem (or two), I'm still at a loss to see how it prevented the shot clock operator from resetting the shot clock.

Also throughout the game, the coach was trying to tell the shot clock operator how to do things.

Also a problem. But, it leads to the possibility that the operator was not correctly performing his/her duties.

As I mentioned in the earlier post, the coach was yelling at the officials that the violation happened, even though it was her team who had the rebound off the air ball (Team control had switched) as the shot clock horn was sounding. The Shot Clock Operator was in the process of resetting the shot clock when this happened, in turn not allowing the shot clock operator to complete their duties.

I'm still confused. Which happened first -- the "rebound" or the "horn?" And, if the shot clock operator was "in the process" of resetting it, then a yell from the coach should not prevent the button from being pressed and released.

Within reason - not while a shot is in the air for example - I would want to know immediately if a coach is hindering the table crew from doing their job. Scoring errors can occur and I don't want that to happen.

Let the Chseagle feeding frenzy continue.

The visiting team had control of the rebound, just as the buzzer was going off, about 1/10th of a second later. It was the visiting team that had team & player control at the time, yet it was the visitng coach yelling for the violation due to the air ball.

The other problem is that the shot clock buzzer wasn't heard by the officials due to the noise that the visiting team spectators & coach were making. Also apparently the volume level of the Shot Clock Buzzer is softer than it should be.

Well it would be a different sound than the buzzer used by the timer.

I was thinking of using the gong idea though for the shot clock.

I may have posted this before, and it's a little OT, but Missouri uses a starter's pistol to signal the end of periods in district and state playoff games when the gym is so loud and the horn can't be heard.

This might work in Mo, but, in DC/NVA, this might lead to some bad situations.......
