IPAD on the Bench

[CoachP]

Football has coaches sitting "upstairs" in a booth transmitting to coaches on the sideline. Why should basketball be special?

(Not using an iPad yet, nor am I planning on, nor am I saying we need a rule change, just sayin)

And I need to get my post count up. The eagle has doubled me up and I have been a member almost 3 years more....

Well it is a different sport. And for the record football has similar rules as it relates to using phones and computers and pictures for coaching purposes.

Now there's a worthy ambition. Be more like the eagle.

I just received an email from Missouri State adressing the iPad issue.
=====
The purpose of this email to clarify the use of iPads and other personal computers by coaches during basketball contests.

NFHS Basketball Rule 10-1-3:

Use television monitoring or replay equipment or computers (other than for statistics) for coaching purposes during the game or any intermission or use a megaphone or any mechanical sounding device or any electronic transmission device at courtside for coaching purposes, or electronic equipment for voice communication with players.

NFHS Office has issued the following statement:

“The use of an iPad or computer is approved as long as they are just replacing a traditional paper alternative, they would meet the spirit and intent of the rule and be permitted. If they are being used to review video or some type of electronic communication, they are prohibited.”


The penalty for violating rule 10-1-3 is a team technical foul. Please refer to the NFHS Basketball Case Book: 10.1.3A and 10.1.3B for examples.

**Applications are available for the ipad to be used like a marker board. This is acceptable as long as it is not used to review video or other forms of electronic communication.

So how are you going to go about checking? Sounds like something that was put out knowing that officials will have a difficult time enforcing it thereby making it just an exercise in communicating an interpretation.

Anyone have a link to the release of this from NFHS? I looked on their website and can't find it.

I may not have stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, but I did run the clock for Boys Varsity after my girls game. I also made sure I downloaded the rules for the timekeeper as the eagle suggested.

So I walked up and gathered the coaches and referees together for rule number 1:

BEFORE THE GAME:
1. The official timer should ascertain the game starting time and
suggest that the referee and coaches synchronize their watches.
