Wrong Number In Book ???

Some say that a "team member" who previously was a "player" must be added to the book as soon as it is realized, even if they are currently on the bench. Others maintain that the "team member" need not be added unless they wish to reenter the game.

The Case Book states the number does not have to be changed if he doesn't play again. That's why rockyroad doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Because some don't "like" this ruling, they choose to ignore it.

How would you handle it if the trainer did the same thing? Note the individual who is assessed the T and move on. You don't change the scorebook unless the coach requests it.

I guess that the fact that the ball hadn't become live yet had no impact on the infraction.

I guess we screwed up. We charged the Black team with a technical foul, the White player missed both free throws, and we gave the ball to the White team at the division line, opposite the table.

Next time, we'll get it right.

Yes, you did. But I'm sure you'll get it right next time. Just make sure you're the R, so Nevadaref can't ram his mythical beliefs down your throat.

Wow. How about this for a "Supercrew"? BktBallRef, Nevadaref, and BillyMac? You two could teach me three person mechanics "on the fly". During timeouts, and intermissions, and after the game, we could debate interpretations. Let's make sure that we all bring our rulebooks, and casebooks. I'll bring cold adult beverages for after the game, or if any of you wish, for halftime.

I'm officially starting my campaign to get the new ruling in 3.2.2 corrected.

I'll sign the petition, but to whom will you be sending it?
