HS Teams entering Gym for warm-ups

[ewitt]

Can't see if there has been a post on this. Our officiating group is aware of the Point of Emphasis of teams entering the gym for warm-ups are not to circle the gym prior to warm-ups and go directly to their end of the gym, but we can't find a consequence if a team does this. Give them a verbal warning, then report it to our officials association? Give them a technical to start the game? How are others handling this

[jdmara]

"Do not do that" and report to association

That's how we have been told to handle it

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.

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.

If you have paid any attention to things I say here, we do not use the official's manual and we do not work for the NF. The NF does not dictate what we do here (or anywhere for that matter) as officials and what procedures we follow.

I think I have said this before.

Or the IHSA?
