Deaf School Situation

[Texas Aggie]

Don't ever try and dictate who can and can't play. Being a manager doesn't make them ineligible, though they need to have a uniform with a number. Whether they are a manager or not should have no bearing on this situation. Properly equipped and entered, according to rule 3, is really the only prerequisite.

One, I based it on 21 already being in the book. Two, what if she wasn't a manager? Be he said she was. She could be a 20 year old college student who is playing for Duke for all I know. If she was in uniform it is one thing. But street clothes, heck no she's not coming in my game

That's crap. For all you know, one of the starters could be a 20 year old Duke student.

The bottom line is you have no authority to prevent the name from being added to the book and from using the jersey of an injured player is no longer avaialble to play. If the coach tells you he wants to add a name and change a jersey number in the book, you charge the technical foul and do it.

You have no rule backing for what you did. You were wrong.

4-33-4. She's not coming in unless she is in uniform in my game.

She wasn't wearing a uniform? I thought she got #21's?

She wanted too. The girl wasnt even on the bench and was in street clothes. According to 4-33-4, "A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player"

Why yes a manager is bench personnel, but she was not a team member by this rule. Unless I am misreading, which I could be. And is it legal for her to grab someone's jersey who is already listed in the book as that number?

As long as she's added to the book and she's given a number, she's a team member eligible to play. Also there's nothing that say a coach can not change a player's number. They must notify the official scorer and the referee. Only one T will be issued though.

I think you mean 4-34-4. This states "A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player". She was on the bench and was going to be wearing an uniform so what is the issue?

Why do people come here and post their self-righteous garbage about how great they are when, in reality, they're f-ing it up for the rest of us.

By your logic:
The senior starting point guard -with a free ride TO Duke- arrives at the school during halftime (after attending her grandmother's funeral), dons a uniform, gets added to the book, is assessed a T, and is then PREVENTED to enter the game by .... by .... you.

Seriously?

You can't dictate who plays or not. If that player happened to be a college player, then the opposing team would have an easy grounds for appeal and possible forfeiture by the other team. Again this would be a league issue and not an officiating issue.

As someone else said, you have no idea about the other players either.

BTW, it is not your game - it is a game that is to be played by the rules and your only job is to ensure the game is played according to those rules. For the most part, you have no authority beyond what is set out in the rule book. You position does not allow you to determine who can and can't play beyond what is described in the rules that you are there to enforce.

Sorry but you blew this one IMHO. I don't like the coach doing this but how I feel about it isn't what matters -- it is whether it breaks the rules or not. I can not think of any rule that would be broken based on what you say occurred.

if the coach knows the rules, you may get a call from your assigner about this one.

You have got to be kidding to even bold that. My game, as in the one's I am in.
