Resumption of play procedure.
Had a sitch last week for my second game of the season with partner (his very first game). Sophomore mens game. Teams were both slow coming out of timeout huddles. I gave them both a few seconds extra warning, sounded the whistle loudly and called "White, ball in!!" then proceeded to place ball on the ground. They made it over fast enough and got the ball in to play. Starting the 4th period, I am on endline partner at midcourt ready to give ball to player to inbound. Both horns have sounded, teams warned, whistle by partner who gives ball to inbounding team who was ready, defense was still in huddle. Offense gets easy bucket.
After the game, evaluator says that partner should not have given ball to inbounding team but should have warned team and issued an official DOG in the book. From what I can tell, we followed the rule properly and the DOG warning isn't issueable in this situation. Granted there were a few things we could have done better, including reminding coaches to be ready to play on second horn and being better with vocalizing to the teams that ball is being put into play. Partner was a bit timid about this. Thoughts and thanks in advance. |
I have a thought
Some people shouldn't be evaluating.

It would take a lot for me to give a ball to an inbounding team to score an uncontested layup.
Did you get in the huddle and try to break it up on the second horn? I'm usually not trying to get to my position as quickly as you seem to have been -- I'm making sure the teams are on the floor, we have 10 players, etc. By rule, you handled things right. But you can be right by rule and still not look good in the process. |

How strictly the HS rule is enforced varies by area. |

We definitely could have done it better. Lessons learned: Reminder to coaches in coaches meeting, be more vocal and consistent with being in the huddle and warning teams ball is coming into play. |

I've *never* gotten to that point, though. I think I put the ball on the floor once all last season. |

I just ask the captains to take care of their teammates, and I leave the TO issue to the coach's meeting. "Let us know on 30/60, and get them out after that first horn so we can get started on the second." |
Football has a "get back coach." Some here have advocated trying to get a "get em out" coach in basketball -- go to that adult and have him/her prod the coach to stop talking. At least the coach can't complain that no adult on his/her staff was "warned".

It's just another angle to try and help the game. Yeah, we tell the coaches too. Kind of an extra POE for the game - our gift! ;) |
