Unmarked starters for JV game
Had a JV game last night and was checking the book at 12 minutes. Noted the visiting team didn't have starters marked. Asked the visiting team if he had the starters and he said no. I said well you've got about a minute to get them.
One of the ACs was over hearing this as the team and HC were in the locker room. He says, "Really? For a JV game? We've never had to have them marked all season." my reply, "well we are today." Thoughts on how I handled this. And.... Go. |

I'm all for more leniency of such things in sub-varsity games, but not having the starters marked at all? At the risk of putting a song in people's heads, I can't go for that.

One option on this is to just select the first 5 in the book (or some other combination).
then, when the coach finally gets around to it, he gets the choice of starting who is in the book or taking the T. if you don't mark anything, he doesn't get a choice -- it's going to be a T. |

Well coach, by rule, you need to mark your starters now. Yeah coach, by rule, JV, Varsity, it doesn't matter. The starters for both teams need to be marked during pre-game by the 10 minute mark or its a T and the other team would get to start the game shooting two from the line and getting the ball. Just feel its a more professional sounding response to a coach's questioning of a rule. Last edited by KJUmp; Thu Dec 04, 2014 at 07:00pm. |

I would not care about this unless the coach did. I have worked JV games where no fouls were kept.

The first time he complained about a call, my response would be "Really? For a JV game?"

I would ask for starters to be marked at JV games around here. I can imagine a lot of officials wouldn't bother with a T if they didn't mark them though.
On this topic somewhat: I had two games in a tournament tonight. I'm the R for the first game and we come on the court. Both teams are in blue uniforms. We ask one of the kids what the deal is. They had brought blue instead of white like they were supposed to, so someone had to go get their whites. I went over at about the 11:00 mark to check the book. I went to that team's head coach and asked if their white uniforms had the same numbers as the blue uniforms they had on at the time, and he says they do. Sure enough they go change with about 5 minutes on the clock. At about the 2:00 mark I see their head coach with a pencil in his hand at the table. Rut-roh. We go over and I ask the scorer what they did. They had changed a player's number to reflect the white jerseys. The scorer told me the other coach was fine with it but didn't really know what to do. We started the game with two free throws. |
