Coaches Question
Had this happen over the weekend, neutral court, inexperienced person running the clock.
1st half, throw in under the basket, Trail was in front of our bench. Both teams were lining up, I sent a substitute to the table. There was no buzzer, so i said sub as i would think most coaches do. The official looks and blows his whistle. In that time, the other official game the ball to the player to be thrown in. After the kids stop he says, "Play on, I already gave him the ball" and well we proceed to give up an easy shot. Just wondering if you all think the play should have been stopped and restarted because of the whistle. Thanks |

Was the sub running to the table when you yell? or Was the sub already at the table? Personally, I look to if the sub is at the table when I hear someone yell sub, and if they are not already there, then they will have to wait until the next dead ball.

he was there..he had been there before the ball went out of bounds. We were down anyway, it was late in the half and I was trying to get a kid in that does not play alot of minutes anyway.
This was the least of my worries, I can assure you..Losing to a much inferior team is much worse. |

...a little too over officious IMHO.

So what do you do?
Pesonally, I won't rush a throw-in just because the coach yells "sub," but I'm not going to slow it down either. And if I'm handing it to the player, we're playing on and the sub can wait, regardless of whether the horn sounds.

2) If you're not in the act of handing the ball to him, wait until the sub hits the X and then bring him in. Of course, if a whistle is blown, you now have no reason by rule not to allow the substitution. That's just about the right officiousness imo. |
