Not me: I'm only doing what's reasonable. I'm not bending over backwards to avoid any T.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, I knew that but I was just testing the board!!! Thanks for the catch.

BILLY Hopefully it was their earlier stuff. I have some old imports on vinyl from them as well!!

As a part time assistant it is MY responsibility to tell the head coach how much time is left for half time. I know that if I don't let her know I will not be getting dinner (or anything else for that matter!) after the game. Its not like assistant coaches or managers have a lot of other responsibilities at half time.

I think that's true in NCAA, but not in FED. See 4-38 (FED, 2009-10 book)

NFHS 4-38: RESUMPTION-OF-PLAY PROCEDURE
The resumption-of-play procedure is used to prevent delay in putting the ball in
play when a throw-in team does not make a thrower available or following a timeout
or intermission (unless either team is not on the court to start the second
half) as in 7-5-1 and 8-1-2. The procedure results in a violation instead of a
technical foul for initial delay in specific situations.

NFHS 10-1-5: A team shall not: Allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes
the following and similar acts:
a. When the clock is not running consuming a full minute through not being
ready when it is time to start either half.b. Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or
from being put in play. See 7-5-1 and 8-1-2 for the resumption-of-play
procedure to use after a time-out or the intermission between quarters. The
procedure is used prior to charging a technical foul in these specific
situations.

If you had quoted my entire post, you'd have realized that i was talking about when a team is not present when halftime ends.

I said: Resuming play is not used following halftime. Resuming play is when both teams are present and have been present but not responding to the signals to resume play.

RPP is not used following halftime if the reason is that a team is not present (the topic of this thread).

But, in NCAA, it's not used at the start of the second half of any extra period EVEN IF a team is present in the bench area.

Contrast NCAA 4-56 with FED 4-38

We just had the situation this past Saturday night. We got out to the floor at about the 2:30 mark (in Ohio -- Central Ohio, anyway -- it is customary for game management to get us at the 3:00 mark) of the halftime intermission. The home team was already on the floor, but no sign of the visitors. I just tracked down game management to get the visiting team.

They returned to floor -- on the sprint -- just as the second horn was sounding. Naturally, the home coach was requesting that the ball be put into play. We waited until the visiting team's bench personnel got off of the floor and we started the second half.

The game ended up being a two point game. I am really happy that we were able to wait the extra couple seconds (as the rules allow) for us to resume the second half. The rest of the game would have been a mess had we been forced to start the second half with a technical -- which we would have had to do had another 50 seconds or so gone by.....

In Wisconsin, it's usually someone at the table who notifies us and the 2 teams at 3:00. In this situation, I would simply ask that person if the teams had been notified. If not, I'm asking them to go do it and will give the team a reasonable amount of time to come out -- I'm likely not adding time back to the clock, though, as one of the coaches could certainly look at a watch when leaving the gym.

I'm not chasing after the teams after this and after a reasonable delay would assess a technical foul.
