How many "T"s will you have at the end of the season?

Where is the rule that says the book has to be ready at 10 minutes? Last I checked, the teams need to supply the scorer with their rosters before the 10 minute mark. When the scorer decides to put them in the book is irrelevant.

I've had three so far in 15 games.Two were coaches failing to notify me of a number change and that player entered the game.The other one was a technical for breaking the plane on an inbounds play.

Had the team already received a DOG warning?

Had my first one of the season tonight, JV-B, two DOGs, both plane, both in the first quarter. (The second one resulted in a loud yell from the defender the instant I whistled.)

Coaches and kids do an overall good job in these parts to be sportsmanlike. If I have three unsportsmanlike Ts this season, that's a lot.

Three in Tuesday's GV game brings me up to four on the season in a week and a half.

#1 (last week) = HC tells A6 to go in for one of her teammates. A6 enters the game. Unfortunately she decided to do this while the ball was in play.
#2 (Tuesday) = A1 has her shot blocked and says "s--t" loud enough for me and her opponents to hear it. NYC has a no tolerance rule regarding profanity, so...
#3 (ibid) = Different A1 thinks she's fouled on a drive. The ball heads the other way. B1 is fouled on her way to the basket. A1 says, "Oh, but you see that, right?"
#4 (ibid) = Yet another A1 thinks she was hit on the arm while taking a shot. As A1 is heading towards her team's bench at the start of a time out she says, "I got hit on my f---ing arm!"

Interestingly, scenario #1 was the second time I've been in a game where that's happened this season. The other was an NCAAW game. My R tried "not to see it" but the girl almost ran him over.

One year he thought he had me. I was up 2-0 and we were at the end of the season. Maybe the last regular season game, he called three in about 20 seconds and proudly took home the trophy as usual.

Is your partner Ken Mauer??

Sounds like A1 was a handful, three techs on her!!! Who let her stay in the game after the 2nd??*

*Yes, I know. :)

And this is one of the many rules that officials surprisingly do not understand and adjudicate incorrectly.

As for coaching box issues, our state has made a bigger deal about that rule based on the interpretation of the administrators of our sports. It has become a major issue that because of what happened last year it was felt we as officials were not doing a good job enforcing. And after all it is a rule that we kind of ignored or looked the other way. I am totally guilty there, but because of the behavior of many coaches, this is something that the IHSA wanted to be cracked down on. As far as I am concerned coaches did this to themselves. I am just doing what is asked and that reason alone will probably put me in a situation to call more Ts. I have yet to call one for a coach being out of the box, but I could see it happening. It happen in my first game this year by a partner and the coach was not saying a word to us, but that is how the state wants it called. It is a new day on many levels.

I have been lucky so far JRut. In the handful of HS games I have done, coaches have stayed in box the entire time. I think for the most part, they got the message from the IHSA loud and clear. Before this season, I was much like you. If the guy was out of his box coaching, I wasn't really that concerned.
