A ten second five second count?

Had a Gold Crown game last spring where the coach asked me if his kids had to go behind the division line. Seems to me he knew the rule but wanted to see if I was going to enforce it correctly.

Smart coach.

Tref:
I do not see blue type in your remark but I sense sarcasm, No?

You are depriving one team of the chance to have a private consultation with their bench, depending on 1st half or 2nd half.

Why perpetuate a myth?

No sarcasm coach... I dont like when we do that to the players, period.

Coach, I don't think you're reading him correctly. He's saying he doesn't like when officials make players go behind the division line, because it's clearly depriving one team of a chance to have a private consultation.

More often than coaches.

And if somewhere along the line in your "smartazz remark" contest, the coach tells you to go f*** yourself, you're now gonna do...what?

Again, imo this is not a good idea ever at the high school level and beyond. It's a recipe for disaster, especially for newer officials at those levels. And personally, at the rec league level I've found that at least an attempt at education works better for me than putting down some daddy-coach that obviously doesn't know much about the game. It might be a ridiculous question to you but it might also be a perfectly reasonable, valid question to the coach. They just don't know any better sometimes.

Gotcha, my bad for inferring sarcasm on your part..

I've worked with very experienced partners who get all of the biggest games in my area that make the players stand behind the division line during FTs for a technical. That myth is perpetuated in both the coaching and officiating professions.

Yep, and if you call them on it, they'll either insist they're right or fall back on some sort of game management principal.

So where are they to go? For the record I did look for it in the book and couldn't find it. I realize that doesn't mean it's not there but...

Where do the players go on any other FT if they're not in a marked lane space.

Try Rule 8 (I think)
