Fact Checkers Needed ...

[SAJ]

I would make changes to any of the situations where there was a correct call made followed by an incorrect ball placement. One could misinterpret the ruling.

In other words, instead of using "and" use a "."

This question, "13) After the fifteen second warning horn sounds during a charged timeout, substitute A6 reports to the table and is seated on the “X”. Immediately after the official administers the throwin to A1, who makes the throwin pass to A2, who then take a few dribbles, the timer inadvertently sounds the horn to allow substitute A6 into the game. Many of the players seem to be confused by the horn, and A2 is about to violate by illegally dribbling the ball again after holding it upon hearing the horn, so the official decides to sound his whistle to get everything straightened out before any violation occurs. After getting everything straightened out, the head coach of Team A requests that substitute A6 be allowed to enter the game. The official does not allow substitute A6 to enter the game because he reported to the table after the fifteen second warning horn. Is the official correct?" was very similar to my post the other day about 'Sub or not to sub'.
I got it right. Partner did not like it.

As someone mentioned, maybe site the rule.

Thanks to everybody who made some suggestions for improvement. Special thanks to those who sent me private messages, and emails.

I believe that my local interpreter wants to set up something similar to this:

I hope that IAABO Board 403, the Catawba River Basketball Officials Association (South Carolina), understands that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I recommend altering the ruling to #9.
The NFHS rules also prohibit a team member from participating in the pregame warm-up while wearing jewelry. Therefore, this should be included in your answer.

Change it to: "The official should state that the player will not be allowed to participate the pregame warm-up or in the game while she is wearing earrings."

You're right. I seem to remember that interpretation from several years ago. Got a citation?

Did anyone find a citation? I'd like to use these as part of a meeting this month.

Thanks, Bob. I would've looked through them at some point.
