Rich-a visiting team not having a scorekeeper is more than welcome to copy into their book my record of the game afterword if they just ask.Never seen anything remotely close to the player stepping up to the volleyball line for a free throw.

Of course. But if they had someone keeping a book, the coach would've known how many timeouts he had left. I think he realized after all this went down that he had used 4, but he probably still thinks he should get an extra one due to the book's mistake.

Did you call a violation or direct him to the correct line and start over?

One more oddity.
A1 had the ball in two hands and B10 reached out and got nothing but basketball (it was quite obvious that the only thing touched was the basketball) -- the force of him trying to knock the ball out of the player's hands apparently put A1 off balance and he went to the floor while still possessing the ball. Weird, dude. |

Rich (and others) - our local kids rec league plays most of its games on middle school courts which are marked for a bunch of other games including volleyball and indoor soccer. Prior to each game, we point out the OOB lines and the lane lines to both teams and we indicate the free throw line when we go to shoot the first free throws for each team.
Our 3rd and 4th graders play in elementary school gyms and there's even more lines to deal with! We're a little more lenient at that level. BTW - we have a "no dunking" rule. All we'd need is for some HS kid to pull down a rim at a MS. We'd have to pay for it. However, it's not a problem at the 3rd and 4th grade level.

The kid had 20 minutes to warm up. He took the ball behind the line. I called the violation and moved on to the second shot. In that split second, all I could think of was, "How am I going to explain this to the other coach and sound credible?" It was a *varsity* HS game, after all. |

each TO? And each situation? easily? Good job! (I can't even remember the "speaking" captain's numbers...that's one of the reason's I don't even ask, and the fact that any player can speak to me.) I guess I am a little slow today, Rich...what do you mean by this? The other coach?

suppose he "reset" and pointed out the correct line? How would the "defensive" coach react?

I find it harder to start-stop-start-stop. I'd much rather be in a game where I do more running. Quote:

The home coach was yelling (and quite frankly, caused me to look up from the L position -- the T and I both hit our whistles at the same time and came into the lane) for the violation and I really didn't have a good explanation why I was going ignore the violation and reset the shooter. I had a few seconds to evaluate the situation and decided to go with the violation. |
