The only thing I might do is what BatteryPowered suggests. Find a way to talk quietly to the kid and let him know he has a very short leash before disconcertion kicks in.

If he's disconcerting, then I'll deal with it. He is legally allowed to be there so I have no business moving him. |

Sometimes it might be safe to assume that people are not as dumb as a box of rocks when reading their post. Some of us are smart enough to think of those things and are hoping the readers are smart enough to understand that not every action in a hypothetical situation needs to be written. For example, I failed to mention that the brief conversation should occur while the official is standing so that he can see the other players and that he/she should continue breathing during the stoppage in play. |

So, let me ask, what are you going to do if he doesn't come over when you beckon him? |
This conversation is incredibly dumb. There is no rule support to move this player. If you try to, you are causing a problem where one does not exist. I completely fail to understand why standing in one place, completely out of the view of the shooter, would even remotely be considered intimidating any moreso than standing anywhere else on the court.
We don't pick nits. This is not even a nit. It's an imaginary non-existent nit. |

If the player doesn't come over I am doing nothing because I cannot make him move. You obviously have to be there and see the events leading up to the T and how the game has been going. If the T was unsporting and emotions are obviously high I just consider this "preventative officiating". I was always taught that 95% of the time, trouble starts when the ball stops. If you can do something to difuse the situation why would you not try? I understand there is no basis in the rules for making him move but consider the possibilities of how far south things could go in certian situations if you do nothing. |
I'd do nothing, as long as the player isn't talking to / at the shooter.

NCHSAA: Who says he canNOT be there? I do not care what he was trying to do while standing there as long as he does not Disconcert the Shooter or commit an Unsportsmanlike TF. Just do NOT go there. MTD, Sr. |
