Discussed in an association meeting last night...

Isn't there a coach on the "other end" of each of these calls or non-calls?

What's your point? And what does this have to do with the point Rich was trying to make with this thread?

I think he was replying to me, but didn't quote me. I tied my little rant into Rich talking about officials having a good foundation of rules knowledge.

I sort of got it mixed up. The officials I'm talking about in part of my post do know the rules, they just refuse to enforce some of them. Then there are guys, veterans included, that just don't know the rules. I'm not sure which is worse.

I was responding to above, but yeah, it had nothing to do with the OP.

I assume you're talking about my post?

Yes, you're right, but I often get the feeling that they either don't know the rules, or they "understand" because they wouldn't want such nit-picky things called on their team either. That or they don't see the infraction in question in the first place. (Like a dunk during warmups)

OT starts with two FTs for the visitors with the lane cleared, followed by a division line throw in. Home gets the AP arrow.

Sorry Rich.

The 2-point vs 3-point should've been the call of the official who is in the primary.... so if the primary official signaled 3, it should've been 3. However, we're always told to "get the call right" so if the other official is 110% sure the foot was on the line, I'm ok with calling it a 2-point try.

At this point, tie game, 4th quarter is over, and any action thereafter happens in overtime.

Coach technical, therefore, occurs at the start of overtime. 2 shots for the other team with the lane cleared, throw-in at mid-court, arrow pointing to team whose coach got whacked.

Yes.... and (getting real "technical" here)?

The coach sits for the rest of the game?

Bingo.

Extension of the fourth quarter.
