Out of subs, and a DQ

Missed The Bus

---

2005 IAABO Refresher Exam

73) Squad member #45 missed the bus and is not present at the time the squad list and starting lineup must be submitted for team members. During the pregame warm up, the referee counts eleven team members for team A, but while checking the book, team A has twelve team members listed. Referee informs the coach that the squad member who is not present may not be placed in the book, even if he/she will get to the game late. Is the referee correct?

73) Yes: Rule 3, Section 2, Article 1, Rule 4, Section 34, Article 4.

Almost every one in my local board got this question wrong. We disagreed with the answer and citation then, and we still disagree with the answer and citation. If I recall, we got some type of explanation involving the definition of a "team member" involving a squad member being ready and eligible to play.

When I'm the referee, I'm pleased to see that there are more names in the book than there are on the floor during warmups. During the 25 years that I coached middle school basketball, I would put all 14 of my team members' names and numbers, in numerical order, in the book for every game, even if I knew that they would miss the game due to injury or illness.

BayStateRef: Thanks for doing the research. I wasn't looking forward to sorting through over thirty years of old IAABO refresher exams, and I had forgotten that I had posted this on the Forum.

An important reminder. This was not a NFHS refresher exam, nor was it a 2005 NFHS interpretation. It's 100% IAABO. Was Peter Webb the IAABO interpreter in 2005?
