I know the WIAA Website, as that's how I found out about the Running Clock being added for this year, by looking it up on the PDF of the 2010-2011 WIAA Handbook. How are you shocked?

I seriously doubt if one of his responsibilities is to know all the playing rules for all the sports.

Ok, let me rephrase then, the AD is supposed to know all rules/regualtions for all sports to ensure those that are doing scoreboard/timing operations are fully aware of their duties.

Post your principal's contact info so we can apprise him of our endorsement. Heck, I'll bet you can probably handle both positions and do crowd control on the side. What a bargain, 3 fer 1. Great idea in these budget conscious times!! Tidy up your CV and go for it

My experience as a basketball official has taught me that even though I probably have more knowledge of the rules in other sports than the average fan, the last thing I would do is pretend that I know every detail of every rule for the other 11 sports that I administer. I run an athletic department- not a rules clinic. I trust that the contest officials will be the experts on matters of rules, and if I have a question, they will be able to answer it or send me to a person who knows the answer. |

When I was talking about game-day operations, I was meaning other aspects besides the sport itself. I could never the place of either the AD or Principal, & I would never try to do so. The person that's been doing the Varsity games has been doing better. She appreciates my help & suggestions as during last year's games I did assist with shot clock operations during Varsity Games when I could. So with time she is getting better. Unless there are other table crews that do so, I am the only one, that I know of, that has a copy of the "Duties & Regulations for Timers & Scorers of Basketball Games", as well as a copy of the Shot Clock Rules/Regulations with me while at the table. I wish more would have these with them in case questions did arise. As during the past couple of years these have come in handy.

In many areas, the AD hires the referees. It doesn't mean they should know how to referee.

Hopefully this last statement has changed since last year, as that's what happened. The poor AD's head would explode if they had to know all the rules officials have to know. I can see an AD being an official for 1 or 2 sports their school participates in, just not every single sport.

Sorry but gotta ask, what's the worst table talk you've ever heard?

Is this clear enough for you
Quote:
In the second half once we reach a point differential of 40 points or greater the clock will only stop for a time out, free throw administration, an officials time out or time between quarters. This doesn't change for the remainder of the game even if the point differential drops to below 40. That is it, nothing more nothing less. My understanding of clock operations is limited as I am only an official, but I think once you get it running if you leave it alone it will contiune to run. But then again maybe I'm mistaken, maybe you need to feed it or whip it to keep it running. |

Right after we started the running clock V got 2 FTs & made both. Near the end of the game one of the V Spectators was complaining about the clock not stopping whatsoever, the Shot Clock operator started to say something to them, but I said to ignore them especially since we had very little time left.
It wasn't till the game was done that he turned around and explained that there's the running clock now. I did scold him though for even saying that, mentioning that the spectators need to learn the rules themselves or stop belly aching. The 2 FTs by V was the only time the clock stopped. BTW Scuba_ref, when during FTs when have you told the timer to stop the clock? How I did it tonight was that I waited until the official signaled there would be 2 FTs. Quote:
