For Varsity games, I've been doing shot clock. However I don't do it every game.

Billy Packer was not an NBA analyst to the best of my knowledge. Now go back in there and fix it right!

Use Bill Walton, he's a genius, too!

Sorry but the NBA is way overrated, college & high school hoops are a lot funner to watch than overpaid chimps.

How many times do I have to say that the officials have final say? If I observe something like a sub with bobbies pins in hair or multiple coaches in coaches box, I just mention it to the officials. The officials have final say in what is going to be done concerning if a penalty is assessed.

Rookiedude,

Are you just scheduled for the Boys' V?

If the "multiple coaches standing" are a problem with your being able to see the action, say you're having trouble seeing the action.

Don't tell me multiple coaches are standing just because it's against the rules.

In fact, don't tell me anything just because it's against the rules.

If you see something unsafe (like bobby pins), some would find that helpful. I'd still find it outside your responsibility, but whatever.

And officials don't have the final say. They have the only say.

chs....

Please refer to NFHS Rules Book Section 12. Articles 1-7. There is nothing that states your job is to help with bobbie pin, coaches box issues or anything else you seem to think is part of your duties as shot clock operator.

Actually the rule book doesn't even reference shot clock operators and their duties....kinda like an assistant coach....persona non grata....so I am stretching your contributions to the game by including you with the timer's responsibilities.

When I've mentioned concerns to the officials, I've been scoreboard/timer, not shot clock.

The reason why the NFHS doesn't have rules/regulations about shot clock is cause of the fact that the NFHS doesn't support the shot clock as of yet.

As I have stated before, I do not make comments of concern to the officials during every game. I'd rather let bygones be bygones.
