We unilaterally penalize just about all unsporting acts during our jurisdiction, and that includes pre-game also. That's just part of our job description. We don't need a POE or any specific instruction to do that. They're usually judgment calls anyway, and if you judge any act worthy of an unsporting "T", then just call one without bothering to analyze it to death first. Treat it the same as any other "T"----> warn and whack or just whack. In my experience, a warning will usually take care of the problem. But if you just sit there and watch them though and you do have problems because of it, then those problems are on you. And note that imo this is another situation that should be brought up with your local association during the pre-season. Get their direction so that everyone in your area is calling it uniformly. |

The POE doesn't say to penalize them for running around the perimeter, which I do not think would disrupt their opponents warm-up unless they cut corners where they ran through the other teams warm-up to the point where it is disrupted. What I pictured and remembered from my years in school was running around the perimeter and when on the opponent's end, cut through the middle of the key straight to center court. Which I remember happening 20+ years ago. At the same time, how often does this really happen after our jurisdiction begins when we arrive on the court at 15:00? |
When Does Rule 10 Begin ???

Other than the above, that's all our state high school athletics association has come up with. However, once our jurisdiction begins, NFHS Rule 10, specifically unsporting acts, is always in full effect. |
