Enterring the court

[JRutledge]

Well it is really an interpretation the same way other sporting issues are usually an interpretation. My state told us to make this a team technical, your area might have a different take on this. This is not specifically stated in the rulebook outside of the POE listed in the back of the book or in the beginning of the S&I book.

The visting team is warming up on their end of the floor.
The home team enters on the same end & forms a line tableside & opposite table. Music comes on & they run to their end of the floor, circle each other on the endline & back up to the division line.

Is this what the NFHS is talking about OR are they speaking of when the circle actually happens on the other teams end??

If the home team entered at a corner, then they must go the shortest way to their end of the court -- the 1/2 that went to the other sideline would be in violation.

If the home team's locker room (or entrance to the gym) is directly under the visitor's basket, then you'd need to make some allowance, of course.

Got it thanks. Somebody got away with one, but I think I'm alright seeing how I worked with an assignor that didnt seem bothered by it.
