Don't have one. It was intended to be a joke about U.P., hence all the smilies, but I guess it missed the mark.

Sorry!

I've been to the U.P. I've fished in the U.P. A back garden still has Petoskey stones that my wife brought back from the U.P. It's a beautiful place.

Now if we could just do something with the Youppers... :D

Jurassic had it bang on....other team got screwed by not awarding them 2 potentially game-winning free throws.

Bottom line: Team A player and/or coach zoned out. An administrative T is a lousy way to lose a game, but that's not our problem.

I'm also willing to bet the AD who was so pleased with the way the crew handled the game was the AD of the WINNING SCHOOL. If not, kudos to that AD for being a good sport!

Wonder what would have happened if the officials in Chris Webber's game decided not to call the T?

Scott,
I was born in Minnesota and on Saturday evenings I am inclined to listen to Minnesota Public Radio, in particular <u>A Prarie Home Companion</u> with Host Garrison Keillor.
Garrison Keillor’s signature monologue is "The News from Lake Wobegon."

Keillor always ends that segment with :"And that's the news from Lake Wobegon, where the women are strong, the men are good lookin', and the children are all above average. "

You weren't far off joking about something I may have said.
I'll drink to that!

With regards to knowing that a team has no timeout and hesitating to give them one, has anyone ever seen a player or coach ask for a timeout and then remember and correct himself? "Timeout, timeout! No, wait, we don't have one.
Never mind." Or I suppose a more likely scenario would be the player who was trapped and facing a turnover who calls for timeout much to his coach's dismay. Player: "Timeout!"
Coach: "No, we don't want timeout!" Is there any leeway here? As written,(10-1-7) the rule says that "A team shall not request an excess time-out." In other words, the technical occurs when the request is made, not when the timeout is granted. Therefore, how can we ignore this request any more than we can ignore the player who steps out of bounds because he had lost his bearings on the court.

Well, mick, it's breakfast time.

I think I'm going to go have a Powdermilk Biscuit - Heavens, they're tasty and expeditious! :D

If it happens during "playing action" (generally defined as either live ball or clock running), then I'd be inclined to grant the TO.

If it happens during a stoppage of play (after a foul or violation, for example), I might glance at the coach quizically to, umm, be sure I hear the request correctly the second time. ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: DITTO
 

Thanks for letting me off the hook, mick.

And assess the "T" for the excess TO, correct?

I think that would be obvious -- just like I don't say "and award the ball to the other team" when I post "I would call the violation"
