too many players
Was just thinking about a game I had two years ago. Home team substitution, one player must have misheard that she was being subbed for. My partner gives the ball to opposing team for a throw-in and ball is thrown in. I see a girl running off the court and onto the bench. She didn't affect play at all, but my instinct immediately blew the whistle for too many players on the court.
I may have messed this up... I gave a T to the player that was the extra player on the court, and an indirect to the coach. Thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, and was probably thinking of soccer where an extra player gets the yellow card. Only reason why I'm thinking of this is because I just got assigned a Girls JV at the school where this happened, and that team doesn't welcome me back in their gym for Girls JV anymore. I'm kind of secretively being assigned because if the school finds out, they'll call the assignor and try everything to get me off of that game. What is the proper procedure for this? It's a T to the team, but nothing for coach and player right? |

Failing that, it's merely a team technical foul. Personally, I hope every single JV program in the area has blackballed me from working their games. Of course, if a tree falls in the forest..... :D |
You're right, you were wrong. Just a Team T, nothing to the players or coach. You don't know which player was the 6th, she may have just taken the bullet.
Also, your assigner needs to grow a spine instead of sneaking around like that. They try to block you just because of a T for 6 players? Really? I've never had an assigner who'd have even taken that call. |

Two questions... would any of you have called it if the girl came off just after the ball was thrown in and didn't affect the play at all? Other question: how many team technicals can a team get? I don't see anything in the rulebook about team technicals, and since it isn't an indirect to the coach it seems like they can be given as many as necessary, and it would just be two FT to the other team and ball. |

If the ball's already on the court, there's not much you can do. If your partner is just handing the ball to the thrower-in, hit your whistle and stop them, and complete the sub. You'll take grief either way. |

If she's running off just as the ball gets in, I wouldn't see it. If she doesn't get off until a few seconds after the offense has the ball in bounds, not much you can do.
An assigner in this case, IMO, should have assigned you to their games just out of principal; unless they've officially blocked you. |

Representing - based on your previous posts I think you should be open to the idea that there is more to you being scratched from this school than a technical foul for 6 players on the court. You've demonstrated a propensity for making up rules and not following others at will - to the point you may not even realize you make up rules or don't follow them perhaps (your insistence you handled situations correctly that not one other person here agrees with).
So perhaps instead of blaming a "system" or "powerful" people, you should focus on your own development and study the rules more effectively? This is coming from a friendly place - just think you're playing the martyr without looking at the whole situation. |

While the rules ultimately put the onus on the team, this is something that can and should be prevented. Take your role in preventing this seriously and get in the habit of having your hand up keeping play from starting until you've personally verified that each team has five players. In your pregame, mention that no throw-in should occur while the off official has his hand up. |
