Early season kickage
B-Var, 2-person, end of the 2nd period.
I'm lead and have some rebound action. Smaller B2 trying to box out larger, taller A2. A2 plucks the rebound from above B2 -- legally -- and then B2, still in 'box out' position, grabs A2 as he attempts a quick putback at the horn. All of this occurs in front of Team B coach, and I give him a drive-by explanation that the rebound was legal, and no, he did not go 'over the back'. Anyway, short story long, A2 shooting 2 with the lane cleared, partner administering the throws, I'm near the table. Team A coach asks me, "don't they have to stay on the court?" Glance over and Team B is heading over to a corner of the gym for halftime chat. No vibe of unsporting, they just thought the half was over for them. I took no action, as 2nd throw was being released. Case play 10.5.5 Sit A covers the play. I was unprepared to anticipate/prevent, and let it occur. And yes, the worst part was the coach knowing the rule and not me.

I know you were preoccupied with A's coach, however, I assume you had 2 other partners that should have seen that team B was heading out (especially since the free throws were in front of their bench). They could have whistled for them to stay before any free throws were shot. Live and learn.

Thanks for posting that ...
I think one of the strengths of this board is that officials feel that it's a place where they can freely admit mistakes, get the support of other officials, and allow us to all learn.
Yeah, I know it's obvious that this is the way the board is supposed to work, but to admit to mistakes is never easy. Kudos and good luck with the remainder of the season. |
