Decision to run clock - opnions?

Thanks guys. I knew I probably should not have done that. The rules sheet for the tourney did say (in bold): All referee decisions are final. So that might technically saved me. But still not a good move by me.

There's always more than one way to skin a cat. Here, most youth/wreck leagues have a 3 T rule... 3 Ts on one team = ballgame.

I'd like opinions on this: 5th grade tournament game. Both coaches been on us and their players all game. .

Sounds like more than 3 situations presented itself.

I would not shorten the game without a league rule. Did you T any of the coaches? Or warn them?

Why once a coach exhibits lack of decor, the next thing you know the players want to wear inappropriately colored headbands and swooshes on their socks. We gots to nip this lack of decor in the bud.

Hopefully this won't filter down to the high school level.

With 1:51 left in 4Q of 19 point ball game, there is tie up and both players nearly get in tussel. We handle it and on my way down the court I tell the clock operator to run the clock the rest of the way.

We used to have a veteran table official who could better answer this question than any of us floor officials. He may have started his own table officials' blog, since I don't recall having heard from him on matters such as these for a while.
Hope nothing bad happened to him.

It's like asking for homework. 🙁
