T during a time-out

On EVERY throw-in (following a violation, foul, timeout) whether its on the sideline or endline the administering official should designate the spot both visually & verbally.

I'll do it on every throw-in just to keep in the habit.

Endline, absolutely. Sideline? I'll point, of course, but I don't see the point of yelling "designated" there. I've never seen anyone run a sideline.

I never use the word designated. Maybe I should, but all I say is "this is your spot."

Hey folks ... this is the internet. You can't read tone from someone else's post. I don't care how smart your think you are or how good an official you are... you just can't. How smart is it to read a post, make a conscious decision to take that post in the most negative way possible, and then rip the poster for being negative... it was YOU that brought in the negativity. If there are multiple ways to read someone's "tone" - choose the nicest one.

Had a girl under pressure (ball, ball, ball!!!) take off down the sideline on me a few seasons ago

After the game I looked up the administration process & when it used the word "shall" instead of "may" I realized that I made the mistake & have been designating every spot from that day forward.
BTW, you dont have to yell it.

How long before you blew the whistle? I know since I've never seen it, I probably would have hesitated while she took 3 steps and been thinking wtf is going on here

Dude you hit it on the head!! I let the girl run from the 28' to the FT line extended & I cannot remember how late my whistle was.

Please tell me you didn't do the traveling violation sign. The few times I have seen this play, never on my court, the official signaled travel. Every single time. The latest was this year in the Pac 12 game.

Two years ago, I was C in the OP situation, but instead of running, A1 threw a pass to A2, who was OOB. I ended up calling it from C, and coach, right behind me, was shaking his head and telling me he had just taught them that play the week before.
