Interestingly, the IAABO manual doesn't say anything about who is responsible for players outside marked lane spaces in 2-person or 3-person. That being said, logic dictates the T would handle those players.

It's the honor system. The players call violations on themselves.

Bill:

I am laughing so hard I can hardly type. Back in the ancient days of women's college basketball when the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) wrote the rules for women's college basketball there was a section at the front of the rules book every year entitled: HONOR CALLS.

The section read as such:

"The joint NAGWS-AAU basketball rules committee supports the official position of the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport that sport participants should be encouraged to acknowledge fouls and violations when appropriate.

"The Joint Committee does not, at this time, specify specific honor calls; however, it is understood that players should recognize their improprieties.

"This position is justified in light of the committee's belief that sport is a positive force in solidarity, encourages integrity, provides enriching encounters is an education experience and a reflection of our society's valuable qualities."

Not once in all of the years that I officiated women's college basketball when it was played under NAGWS Rules did I have a player make an honor call on herself. I officiated many heated Division I games between Univ. of Miami (UM) and Florida International Univ. (FIU), UM and Florida State (FSU), FIU and FSU, UM and Univ. of Florida (UF), and FIU and UF. It just never would have happened.

But, I will say one thing, after every game, my partner and I would meet at center court and every player and coach from both teams would line up and shake our hands and thank us for officiating the game, even after tournament games. Can you see that happening now, LOL!

We've discussed this on the Forum in the past (love the Bryon collared shirt):
