The first post (thread post #1) in this thread is user post #1. Then he replied (thread post #3) which is user post #2. That updates the user post count that you see displayed.

Thanks. Ask a stupid question, get a rational answer. What a great world it is that we live in.

NJ, do you work the scoreboard also or just the clock? I'd suggest getting a hold of a rulebook if you can. The other important subject to know is the possession arrow. Several different rules address the arrow that may not be intuitive such as if the inbounding team on an alternating throw in fouls, they lose the throw in, but not the arrow.

I should have said fouls "during the throw in" so that's another point to know, when does a throw in end, because if the foul is after the throw in ends, the arrow does go to the other team.

Actually - if either team fouls 6.4.5

Thanks, guys. I'll take another look through both the timing rules and the possession arrow (as well as keep an eye on this board). I do the clock, scoreboard, and PA announcing for the school I teach at (and graduated from), and I'm interested in making sure I know what I need to know to do the job right.

My school lost a heartbreaker in the conference tournament today so it hasn't been such a great day...

All three at the same time?
