They want us to give a T and be on the court when teams enter.

I did it last year to both teams in the same game. Fun times man, fun times.

How did that work? Was one before the first half and one before the second?

Both happened before the game started. We tried to stop it, but the second team decided to go around the court.

I'm still confused. It's only a T to run under the basket when the other team is out there. So, the first team out can run around the entire court. The second team has to go the shortest route to, and remain in, their half of the court.

The interpretation in WA is that each team must stay on their side of the floor during warm up whether or not the other team is present. So, you could have two Ts to start the game.

[letemplay]

is the only restriction, right? Had a middle school ref tell me last night the team not only had to warm up on their HALF of court, but could not gather/huddle/chant in center jump circle, even if they stayed on their side. I told him I did not think he was correct. Was I wrong?

They both came out of the same tunnel and the first team ran around the entire court, the home team who was the second split the court and ran around the court as well. They cannot do this at all not matter who is out there. And if the team vacates the area before the game, the team cannot play on the other side of the court with the same penalty.

Ditto. My partner sprinted to prevent a team from doing this the other night. Unfortunately, this was the team that I visited about 2 weeks ago, and one of the points I expressly emphasized to them.
We had a pre-season game where both teams did this, and I suggested to the R that both teams could get Ts, both coaches would sit for the entire game, and we still would begin with a jump ball. He was very tempted.....

I understand giving a technical for teams doing this as a warm-up, but where in the rule book could you refer to as giving you authority to do this?

Unsportsmanlike conduct...if that's what your association deems this action to be.

Where in the officials' manual (or rule book) is it stated that the floor officials must be present on the court when the teams come on the court?

Doesn't matter if it's in the rules book or mechanics book if the accepted practice in one's state/conference/association dictates that officials be on the floor before hand.
