Telling Teams Direction They Are Going?
As referees, are we obligated to tell the teams which way are going at the start of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters?
I had an instance where a player came up to me and said, "Hey, I know which way we are going, but we are going to run a trick play." |

I have had this happen several times. I have just got into the habit of moving the the division line and hold the ball on the side that we should be going. If asked which way we are going by ANY player, I just answer with the color...Something like "It's blue's ball."

Er, the mechanics manual might help.
Starting a Period:
1. The throw-in to start the second, thrid, and fourth quarters and any extra period shall be administered by the Referee at the division line opposite the table. 2. Indicate color and direction, designate the throw-in spot, sound the whistle to alert players that play is about to begin, place the ball at the thrower's disposal.

I too have had several teams try this, mostly AAU stuff. The team that tries it always ended up losing the game, usually pretty bad. It just tells me they trying to pull every trick in the book and the coach always has a behavior problem.

Why is this a behavior problem? It's just strategy and preparing your players to understand game situations.

Note, those behavior problems are shared between the coaches and their players, most of the time.
