Player loses his shoe!
I've been officiating since 1999 and have never had a kid lose his shoe until last week. There was a tussle for the ball which resulted in a break for the other end of the court. I was on trail and as I ran along there was a shoe lying on the court! (I didn't actually see it come off.) I was definitely taken aback, but when I looked up and saw one of the players making his way down the court with one stocking foot I blew my whistle and gave him a chance to get his shoe back on. Kinda strange.

When stopping the clock for my own reasons (such as a shoe coming off, or a bloody nose, etc) is there any hand signal that is necessary beyond the open hand "stop the clock" gesture? (I usually just point to myself and say, "My time out.")

Also, if this were a fast break situation and the offense looked to have an easy two points, would it be appropriate to wait to stop play until after the lay up so as not to ruin an easy score, or is there a requirement to blow the whistle right away for a lost shoe?

Sock It To Me ...
A few weeks ago a player on the Connecticut womens team made a three pointer after losing one shoe. It really happened.

So, what's your point? Most of the players on the Connecticut women's team could make a 3-pointer after losing one shoe, one contact lens, while facing backward and doing pushups! I'm no Auriemma fan, but that team is absolutely unbelievable!

Ok,
everything else aside: do you guys actually call "an officials time out" for a player puts his show back on?

If appears that happen in the op.

I'll do it when the player's team gets the ball and we're not in a fast break / transition.

If the other team has it? No.

No. and we train our officials not to stop play either.

Displaced eyeglasses, yes. Shoes, no.

And you won't see play stopped at the NCAA level either for shoes(or you shouldn't).

Is a displaced contact considered the same as displaced eyeglasses? I observed a BV game last week where H1 had a contact come out. He was holding it on the tip of his finger, and asking the official to stop play. Official did not stop play, and waited for the next dead ball. Home coach not happy!

Also what is the rule reference for the eyeglasses. I know that I have read it but am having a brain cramp this morning.

Thanks,
