NCAA M Starts With Tech

[BktBallRef]

Wonder if it had anything to do with Calhoun's suspension? Asst. coach not realizing he had to designate starters?

EDIT: Yep, reading the story, that's what happened.

Wonder what happened. Usually check book at 11 0r 12 min mark to make sure this dosen't happen.

It's clear what happened -- the team didn't fulfill a requirement and received a technical foul.

That's good preventitive officiating, however, the onis is still on the team.

How does this happen with 12 Asst. coaches? What do those guys do before the game? One of them should always check the book before the game starts.

At that level, I doubt officials check such things. Mainly because this (almost) never happens.

I'd be willing to bet that this particular assistant has been a head coach at some point in his career. Sounds more like an honest mistake than ignorance.

Had a similar mistake in a game earlier this week. Coach marked the wrong starter, but thought he had marked the right one in his book, which would make it a scorekeeper's error. Turns out he marked the wrong starter in his book. Honest mistake, but still shouldn't happen.

Doesn't have to be ignorance, just a coach who had different responsibilities than what he's accustomed to having.

When was it discovered? What did you do?

Wow. I've never seen that in an NCAA game before.....And only heard about it in NFHS.

I was the U. Right off the jump ball, A1 catches it and throws it to A2 in the backcourt, violation. Horn goes, table calls us over and tells us that B50 is not listed as a starter in the book.

A3 shoots the technical free throws, and A takes the ball out of bounds at the division line. Arrow stayed with B.

Do you think that was the correct way to handle it? Can you back that with a rule?

This year I was U-2 on an NCAA-W D-2 game, and the visiting coach failed to have the names in the book by the 10-minute mark. When she found out that she was going to receive an administrative technical foul for not getting the names in on time, she came over to ask why... When the R explained the rule to her, she told us that she always thought that the timeframe to get the names in the book was by the 8-minute mark!

Connecticut Associate Head Coach George Blaney served as head coach at Stonehill College (1967-68) and Dartmouth College (1969-1971). From 1972 to 1994, he served as head coach of Holy Cross, compiling a 357-276 overall record. He then became head coach at Seton Hall University, where he led the team to the NIT twice.
