Almost got 2 Medias killed with one!
 

Working a Womens D2 game the other day, and we were in a BIG mismatch, and early in the second half, we blew through the 16:00 Media stoppage with live ball play and came 22 seconds away from getting 2 for the price of one! Any of you else gotten 2 medias for one?

I know I know...I would have had to turn right around and get another on the next dead ball...but it was the premise of having quite a bit of live ball play..

Happened in either an elite eight or final four game in the NCAA men's tournament last year...which is why I hate their timeout format compared to the NBA's.

Happened in the Carolina-Kentucky game earlier this month. They blew through the under 12 and had to take it at 8:13 and then the under 8 at 7:55.

You don't get two for the price of one. You take one, and at the next stoppage take the second.

I was at a Wisconsin game this season where we had medias on two consecutive dead balls. Amazing, as it's been my experience that officials at this level find a cheapie within ten seconds of the TO threshold in order to take that precious media timeout.

You just like the NBA more. ;)

If coaches know this, they should just kareem the ball off of B1's (guarding thrower-in A1) leg. :rolleyes:

We don't allow coaches to touch the ball. :)

Also, wouldn't you use a sky hook if you're going to Kareem the ball? :D

Exactly what I was thinking.

Umm didn't I state that in the last sentence? I was more referring to the length of live ball play...:rolleyes:

At the D2 level this will happen more often than you think. I've had it happen several times per season. It's a pain and everyone hates it in my experience.

Yes, you did. I missed it.
