3 Seconds
Just a general question I had a game last night and the coach was barking about 3 seconds all freaking night to whoever was in the lead and there was no adavantage disadvantage going on because the ball was passed around the top of the key majority of the game. He called a timeout barked some more why arent yall calling this then begins the rant of three seconds is 1,2,3 toot should be a whistle. Mind you the other coach was coaching didnt have a care in the world about the calls. How would you guys have handled this situation?

Well...there's no advantage/disadvantage component to three seconds or any other violation. Advantage/disadvantage only applies to contact.
|
Agree
I agree jetman but they didnt build a tent or a fort in the paint and like i said it was really not that much post play going on would you call it or leave it be how would you handle that coach???

By rule, the coach was correct about the three secs. call. But, a lot of officials don't like calling 3 secs. Check with your leadership. When in Rome ...
|
If the violation is there I'm going to get it. As was pointed out, there is no advantage/disadvantage to consider.
|
While there may be no advantage component in the rule, I don't know of anyone that wants 3 seconds called strictly by the rule. You should, however, be talking the players out of the lane. If they don't listen, go ahead and get one or two early.
Note that this is without regard to the coach bitching on the sideline. That's an entirely different matter. From the way you describe it, he wouldn't have had his coaching box long. Quote:
But if he had been ranting 'all freaking night', it would have been addressed sooner. |
All Bark, No Bite

I liked that. |
We went 2OT last night and we had around 30 fouls. An absolute joy. The home team ended up with 12 fouls in 5 full quarters of play.
Some idiot did tweet that the fouls were 10-4 at the beginning of the 2OT and we should be ashamed that they weren't even. I laughed at that one. |

However, based on your own words it appears to me you knew it was happening and just didn't want to call it. So I'm with coach. Why aren't y'all calling this? |

Here it appears that the Varsity guys wait until an entry pass comes in and they have been there 3+ seconds and call it.
I like to talk to players myself and get them when they have been in really long or forced the defense to guard them and they are unable to help out with other offensive players. |
