T for pregame warmups?

Plus, back to the original description, if the locker rooms were on the opposite end of the court where they would be warming up, how on earth are they supposed to get there WITHOUT going near the other team's basket?

There's a difference between "near" and "under".

If they're just transiting from their locker to get to the other side of the court, even under the basket with the other team no where in sight, they're just coming out to warmup and there's not a chance in the world I'd ever call this.

I wouldn't even notice. We don't take the floor until both teams come out and they're usually in position by the time we get on the floor.

We are told to stay out on the floor between games because there's usually less than a minute between the end of the girls' game and when the boys come out for warmups. But it's still something I'd never, ever call.

We were told in a email a few weeks ago to LEAVE the court between a double header. This has to just be to leave the confines of the gym. I had a G-MS game end 17-15. I did not want a silly T (wouldn't have happened with either coach) to have to make us play OT. So both my partner and I went to the closest door stepped outside (after checking with the table to be sure they were good) and then stepped back in. Jurisdiction for Girls ended and Boys begins.

Concerning the warm-ups, our directive has been to NOT call this on under-V games.

There's still a difference between "near" and "under", which is what you were commenting on. If the other team is not on the court, it's moot. If the other team is on the court, then the difference may make a difference.
