(We're used to going to the table at the 12 minute mark, giving us time to make corrections to the book if necessary). Well, visitors have a mistake in book which has to be corrected. Would you access a 'T'?

Unless there were extenuating circumstance, you have no choice but to assess a "T". If the visitors didn't comply with one of the necessary items listed under NFHS rules 10-1-1&2, that's on them.

Whether you were out on the court or not when they screwed up is completely irrelevant. All that matters is that they screwed up. The visitors made the mistake; not the officials. You can't change that fact.

It's got nuthin' to do with being a hardazz either. It's got everything to do with NOT having rules backing to NOT assess a "T".
