New IABBO RULE BOOK

[BillyMac]

Was there ever any rule basis for a pregame meeting? I could have sworn that there was such a rule, but I can find no requirement in the rulebook for such a meeting.

This is the closest that I can find:

2-4: The referee shall: Verify with the head coach, prior to each contest, that his/her team
member’s uniforms and equipment are legal and will be worn properly, and that
all participants will exhibit proper sporting behavior throughout the contest.

In FIBA we don't even meet with the captains. To be honest, it doesn't make a difference.

I worked with "that guy" today who asked what # the speaking captain was. Told the ladies " no hand checks. Just one had. 2 hands on and we're gonna bang ya". Also said " we're gonna go with the time on the clock".

I'm surprised he didn't inform them it was the red line all the way around..

FML.

As far as I can tell Captains meetings are just another opportunity for "that guy's" to show their glaring incompetence....

Billy- doesn't your IAABO board education officer teach you about the difference between "ejected" and "disqualified" ?

NFHS: Players/Substitutes are "disqualified". Head Coaches are "disqualified" and "ejected". All other Bench Personnel are "ejected".

NCAA: See NFHS, if my memory serves me correctly.

I'm surprised he didn't get arrested.

It is also stated in the Official's Manual under the referee's pregame duties. 2.1.5 A 10 (two person), 3.1.5 A 8 (three person).
