Question re: Jurisdiction
 

The horn sounds to end the game with team A beating team B 77-76. As you start to run off the floor, you see A22 remove his shirt.

Is it a technical foul by rule?

Would you make this call if it was a technical foul by rule?

I would use common sense in this case. The game is over in the minds of everyone other than officials. Technically, it's not over until the officials leave the visual confines of the court, thus approving the score.

The rule states that Jersey/Pants may not be removed within visual confines of playing. Since the game had finished there will be no more "playing" to follow. So this would be allowed if I was in those shoes.

Hopefully I'm thinking straight on this one! I would like to see that called though to see everyones reaction :D

Hold on CDur...you are trying to bend the rule a little...

Removing the jersey and/or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing area.

haha I've been caught! I read it from the back of the rule book where is states the differences between NFHS and NCAA. Guess they left out "area" I felt like that was correct though.

Yup.

My goal after a game is to get out of there quick so I don't see it. Even if I saw it, no way I'm calling a T on this - even I'm not willing to pick that fight (with the coach or the assignor). Guess the only exception would be if I thought it was done to taunt the losing team or the crowd.

Yes it is a technical foul by rule. No I would not call it....I don't believe I would get backing from my association for that call and would likely be out of the officiating business.

He did what???

Man, how did we miss that?:p

... really, we thought those were cheerleaders' sweaters hanging from the rim on our way out! :eek:

I think I'm too cowardly to make that call.

Are you beating someone to the punch? :D

it pains me to do this, but couldn't resist

where does it say always? :D

Thought I might as well. :D

I'm thinking this is a POI situation.

The point of interuption was me going to the locker room. :)

You do realize, don't you, that team B might make only one of their free throws. Do I have to say any more? ;)

That would be my answer....heck I'm a newbie, I miss things all the time.
