Against the rules or not?

Question 1: True
Question2: incorrect, for the Thrower-in, he/she must come directly onto the court. Rule 10.3.2 states such act is a Technical

Violation beats 2 & the ball

Ok, I see the rule now on the OB play. Looks like the team got off easy as it was just called a violation. Didn't look like he "spaced out" but more so he was waiting to see which way the ball went after inbounding to decide which way to go.

I'm still not clear what rule basis is used for the first one. "Laps" was maybe an incorrect term to use. The team ran several fast break drills, and the opposing team was nowhere in site during this.

Thanks for the quick replies

Ah, totally different situation. If this happens in my game, I'm just telling the team to get on its own side of the court.

I think we were envisioning one team already on the floor, and the other team entering the floor by circling the team already on the floor.

EDIT: OK, maybe not totally different, but I'm warning before I whack in this situation.

Using the opposing team's court when they are not using it is fobidden by our state. It's a POE this year. Ran into two coaches this year who said, "I've never heard of that!" (A: "Did you listen during the pre-season mandatory coaches' rules meeting?") and "No one ever stopped us from doing that before...here it is the middle of February and you're gonna enforce that???" (A: "Yes, but we're not going to enforce three seconds, held balls, number of players on the court, or contact fouls because, after all, we saw someone earlier in the season who wasn't enforcing them....")

Suggested rule change: Should be a violation. It's a violation to step off the court. It should be a violation, not a technical foul, to stay off the court.

Billy, I would strongly object to this being downgraded to just a violation. I have relied on this call to be my ace-in-the-hole when engaged in a 'Referee's Liar's Poker' competition. You know, where the most outrageous call of the game wins an adult beverage. Very useful in keeping your interest up in a blow-out...

Last weekend I had a partner, a forty-five year veteran official, call a swinging-the-elbows violation. After the game, I asked him, "What did you do, pull that one out of your *ss?"

Punching the ball, flopping T, face guarding, and 10 second violation.....on a FT shooter.

[bainsey]

Read 'em and weep...four Ts... elbow locking, player lifting, a team with numbers 0 and 00, and taunting after the fourth quarter horn.

I had this -- I swear I counted to 17 and he still wasn't going to shoot, before I called it!
