Head Coach from A instructs A12 to "hold the ball until 8 seconds on the clock, then run Tennessee special."

A33, sets up on the left block right next to B25. Both understand this is a "free breather" and are both waiting for the clock to get to 8. In fact, both players are standing next to each other with hands on hips, talking to each other about how good a first period it has been.

Who's calling a 3 second violation here ? (9-7-2)

Not me.............
I'm just spit ballin here. "Watch the lane fella's/ladies" might be a good way to go.

Might be.

But, just spit ballin' here - what if you already said that earlier in the quarter? Do you say it again? What if you say it and they're not paying attention because they're busy comparing stats with each other, or talking about who they're taking to the prom?

What's the signal for fraternizing? What's the penalty?

I don't think the NFHS has an official signal, so of couse it's our job to make one up.

As far as the penalty, I think it depends upon the ages of the fraternizers.

I just must have a voice that commands attention and adherence!! In your situation, i would have no problem reminding them about the lane again. If the player chooses to ignore it, I can't say I didn't try. And boy will that coach be upset with his player!!

If you have to say it again, then your voice isn't commanding obedience.

While I agree with an occasional reminder, I disagree with this. Why should they be reminded again? There is no provision in the rules for any type of warning on violations, although I agree is there is some precedence (or is it precedent?...well, crap, how about "there's people that have done it before?...) for doing it. But I've also been told that if you say it loud enough for others to hear, then it's time to call the violation. And I've certainly been told that if I have to say it more than once, then I should've called the violation instead of saying it a second time. Remember, this is still the 1st period, so not a lot of time has elapsed if you did say something earlier.

I just don't agree with not making a call simply because I'm trying to avoid taking grief for making it. Last minute of a 30-point game, I'm probably not looking for it. 1st period, or 1st half of a tie game, I would say every posession is still critical. I'm not bailing out a dumb player in that instance.

Hey - watch those travels, guys. Hey - watch those stepping out of bounds, guys. Hey - watch those punches in the mouth, guys.

OMG, you must have been at the AAU Tournament I was at last weekend!?!?! Were you the other guy wearing a black and white stripped shirt I was just commenting on the specific play as givien.

I will admit that I have been know from time to time to verbally warn a player in the post that it might be in their best interest to vacate the premises. Usually if a player is just ball watching or just hanging out, I will try to snap the player out of their daze. I just say "Lane" and that usually works. If that oratory gem doesn't do the trick, I make a high schrieking sound with a little plastic object I sometimes use. That often does the trick as well!!!
As an adendum, so SOME people don't jump to a negative conclusion, I am NOT a big fan of doing that when it comes to fouls. That is just to slippery a slope IMO.

Word from on high...

Ran the original sitch by our State rules interpreter...

Time for you to have some fun, Justa.....

Iirc, the question was when to start a 10-second count when the ball goes into the backcourt after team control was obtained in the frontcourt, correct?

Ask your state rules interpreter if his personal definition of what the the "spirit and intent of a rule" is can supercede a definitive ruling issued by the NFHS rules committee.

From the 2008-09 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations as posted on the NFHS website:

SITUATION #8
A1 is dribbling in his/her frontcourt when B1 deflects the ball into A's backcourt. The ball is bouncing towards the endline in A's backcourt when A1 and B1 give chase. B1 & A1 each contact the ball, but neither gains control. Finally, after numerous attempts by each player, A1 gains possession deep in A1's backcourt. When does the 10-second count begin for team A?
RULING: The count starts as soon as the ball GOES INTO THE BACKCOURT since team control has not ended(4-12-3; 9-8).


Here's the link:

Lah me......

Kinda sad when a state rules interpreter issues a ruling that is completely contradictory to a definitive NFHS ruling.
