HS Teams entering Gym for warm-ups

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.

I e-mailed WIAA and asked what their stance was concerning this. Here's the response:

It is something that we have been monitoring for the past several years at the state tournaments where the floor managers inform the officials of the violation. The same would be true for any regular season game.

So basically before the officials take the floor, it's up to game management to make sure that does not happen. If a team does take the full lap to start their warm-ups it's game management's responsibility to notify the floor officials.
