I thought "Half Way, Oregon" for the award.

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

If it's still there when we get back, lying in the middle of the court, I might stop it. I would hope it would disappear by that time, however. If it's a safety issue, ok. But as lead, I might just pick it up on my way through and put it down on the bleachers.

Eh, I'm ambivalent on this one. I may have had this once in the last 8 years (and it was just last week). I stopped it, nobody said anything, and both teams had subs waiting to enter. I really didn't think twice until I saw this thread today.

Same here. No one minded that I stopped play. Gave the kid a chance to get his shoe on and we started again with OOB throw-in closest to where they had the ball when I blew my whistle. I guess you could argue that a kid on the floor with just one shoe constitutes an unfair advantage for the other team?

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!

They're good, but not this good:

Officials' timeout...all gather at midcourt for a devout moment of silence for the sole that was lost. Play resumes at POI.

Sorry

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,

NFHS rule 5-11EXCEPTION(a)...includes displaced contacts. You stop the game but don't charge the player's team with a TO.

Note that "displaced shoes" are nowhere to be found in that exception.

I've done both this year, first time for each. Weird year.

Thanks,

Here's the Rule:

Rule 5 SECTION 11 CHARGED TIME-OUT
ART. 1 . . . A single 60-second time-out charged to a team shall not exceed one minute. A warning signal for the teams to prepare to be ready to resume play is sounded with 15 seconds remaining. Such a time-out shall not be reduced in length unless both teams are ready to play before the time-out is over.
ART. 2 . . . A single 30-second charged time-out shall not exceed 30 seconds.
A warning signal for teams to prepare to be ready to resume play is sounded with 15 seconds remaining. No on-court entertainment should occur during this time.
ART. 3 . . . Only one 60-second time-out is charged (or one 30-second timeout, if that is the only type of time-out remaining) in 5-8-4 regardless of the amount of time consumed when no correction is made.
EXCEPTION: No time-out is charged:
a. If, in 5-8-3, the player’s request results from displaced eyeglasses or lens.
b. If, in 5-8-4, the error or mistake is prevented or rectified.

Thank you! Thanks to Snaqwells and grunewar as well. My initial reaction was that play should have been stopped for it. I am still studying the books try to look things up before asking, but was stumped this morning.

I would either kick it toward the bench, or beckon someone to come pick it up, depending on where the shoe was (and to whcih team it belonged).
