photographer

[fullor30]

Had my state tournament game last night, off night for me, but that's another story.

Lined up for free throws and coach of shooting team complains to me that photographer under basket is distracting he girls with his flash. I go over and ask him to stop. He gets a little huffy and starts saying IHSA allows him to do so as he leaves. At halftime, we go to a classroom rather than locker room as it's a good walk from gym. Photographer knocks on door as we tell him politely we are having our halftime meeting and please leave. Glass door closes and he again knocks on door and one of my partners says my turn. Photographer with a pissed off look now wants our names. We are now looking for the AD as he leaves.

I can't seem to find a ruling prohibiting this. We were giving him leeway being under the basket and while not a tight area, it was cozy. Rule 2.3 gives broad authority for anything not covered in book. Anybody have anything else?
