1st Wack - missed 2nd!

[Refsmitty]

2nd half - Captain spins down the lane out of control - throws up a brick - came up screeming "How Can That Not Be A Foul?" Throwing arms up and the whole deal. Felt he got pushed in the back - I saw no push...

Wack! As I go to report - he sits on the end of the bench with arms on head... thought later that I should have got him again by rule for unsporting.

After the game - I find out that the coach has instructed them due to his rule that a T means sitting rest of game... instructed them to sit on the bench. Coach may learn the hard way down the road eh?

[Welpe]

HTBT of course but it sounds like you did just fine.

Don't go looking for trouble here....the coach is doing you a favor. Let him sit and move on.

[TimTaylor]

Yeah, I had high hopes for a nice, clean, "T" free season.....lasted until my 2nd game. A1 is OOB for throw in, B1 swings an arm across the line and knocks ball out of A1's hands. FFWD three games - I call a PC foul on a player for a forearm shiver on the defender that would have made any football coach proud.......she turns and heaves the ball at the wall in disgust......

Agree with Cam....I'd just remind the coach they need to follow the sub procedure.

- well taken - thanks

I wouldn't have T'd up that second act from the sound of it. Good job getting the first one.

I wouldn'd have Td that up either, but doesn't the POE indicate we're supposed to? Or do we get discretion on it?

Sitting on the bench with hands on head (and mouth shut)? Not me.

Throwing up hands and stomping off court? Yep.

Which one is obvious to granny? (That part isn't explicitly in the rules...)

Which is how I would call it, but it seems some are being instructed to call this even when the player tucks his proverbial tail between his legs and heads to the bench prior to the sub being beckoned. The wording of the rule leads me to believe it should only be called when it's "to demonstrate frustration."

Some states have officious supervisors. :shrug:

I think your interp is clearly supported by the case play.

Don't be a plumber.
