Out of subs, and a DQ

Also, if the state backs the ref that's fine... I just want to know the rule for future reference.

Does what matter? If he's in the book but he's in street clothes behind the bench that's not our concern.

Okay, that's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure.... I just didn't know if he was in street clothes but still in the book this gave the ref reason take him out of the book....

Thanks again.

The rules do not address who's allowed to be entered into the book. As JMF stated, sometimes we just over think stuff and get into trouble.

Rosters aren't my business, I only make sure no names are added after the 10 minute mark without penalty. To do that, we check to make sure there are at least as many names as bodies warming up. If not, I will assume players are either in the locker room, on the way, partying in Vegas, or flying to the moon. I'm not even asking.

...

Some folks think being a good official means showing everybody how restritive you are:

• Looking for reasons to not allow a sub after a time-out which is followed by free throws
• finding reasons to remove names from the scorebook
• Finding reasons to rule a fouled player as being "on the floor"

They don't? It seems pretty clear to me:

3-2-1: At least 10 minutes before the scheduled starting time, each team
shall supply the official scorer with the name and number of each team member.

4-34-4: A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform
and is eligible to become a player.

Maybe you meant to say that the rules do not address who's not allowed to be entered into the book.
