Substitution Question

[chseagle]

Snaq,

You forget that majority of the games I do as timer are at the JV/C level so both the coaches & officials are wanting to keep the game moving in order to be available for Varsity or wanting to watch Varsity.

As I stated it rarely happens. Those times it does happen I hear no complants from the coaches or floor officials.

I follow the timing regulations fully, the sounding of the horn early is a 1:200 to 1:300 happening & at the request of the floor officials & coaches by mutual consent.

There is no reason to sound the horn just because one team has come out of the huddle.

DON'T SOUND THE HORN UNTIL IT'S THE PROPER TIME.
