Illegal Substitute?

[cmhjordan23]

In our area, if it is a JV and Varsity game, Varsity game is always 20 minutes after the completion of JV game.

This problem about not having enough time to enter the roster after the JV is so easily solved...........

Tell the school to buy a second scorebook! Scorebooks are cheap and they'll use them anyways. They can buy 1 every year, or 2 every two years.

Most teams are present well before 10 minutes before their tip-off time. They can likely fill out the scoresheet 30 minutes before tip-off!

Problem solved.

It can alsow be solved by having officials read the rules -- the book is not required to be completed 10-minutes before tip-off.

I was wondering when someone would point this out.

The other thing to do in this type of situation is to notice if there is a game program with the roster printed in it.

I never said it had to be.

All I mentioned was "a problem".


Everything else about basketball is prepared ahead of time. Why not the scorebook as well?

During the warm-ups, instead of writing players' names, the coaches could be actually be... coaching!
