Stoppage to reset shot clock

[BDevil15]

Is JRutledge always this Hostile or just because Im a coach? Like I said I was just watching a game and found the play interesting, didn't have a camera, I was a spectator. I recounted it as clearly as I could and was curious what professionals thought.

APG: Sorry I was asking if the official could make a judgment and wait to reset it if the player passed or prolonged the play in some way rather than negating that opportunity immediately.

CC55: From where I sat I thought it was definitely a pass but I could see that possibly it could be considered a try.

Rutledge is a happy crank. Play on...

[JRutledge]

I do not think I am being hostile with you at all. We have no idea what happened in your play (I could have said you made no sense in your description or ripped you for trying to imply that you are just a coach that does not know the rules). I said to you we have no idea what happened in your play. You do not have video (if you see many of the posts in this site involve video) and there is no way we know what was called and why unless we talk to the official. The official made a judgment and that is what they went with. And I could have also called you names for even implying that this cost anyone a game. I did none of that. Not cranky, not upset and really do not care that much about your play, but felt it needed to be said that none of us would know anything about your specific play unless we saw the play for ourselves and that would be guessing. And even if we commented, we would not know what this official judged ultimately and might not even know what directives his/her supervisor gave them about solving these problems. But you come here almost implying that this was so incorrect that an official has no right to make a judgment.

Oh well, another fanboy on the rise.

Peace

heh heh.

if it was a pass, no reset as Crosscountry states. But we shall leave this one for the mages.

No. Sometimes he's worse.

Oh -- on the OP: If there's a shot clock reset error (either way), I will NOT kill it if the offense is moving for an immediate try AND the error is not affecting the play.

Thanks to those of you who were kind enough to answer the question without trying to demonstrate how unimaginably superior you are or how idiotic the question was. Appreciated. Some of you could even take it for granted that it happened even without video proof.

Fanboy out...

No, I am not taking your word what happened. You said it best, fanboy!!! That is what many of you are that come to this site and try to complain as if we have to take your account for things and yes we often see the video that you are refering to. Just wait until March and you will see what I am referring to and people like yourself will still argue with officials on this site (and I will not even be involved) about how the officials got something wrong and we will all have the video to disagree or agree with your fanboy assessment. Do not get mad at me because not only did you not ask a very good question (because you were so concerned to rip the officials and APG was confused by the nature of your post). Stop being so damn sensitive!!! Everything is not about your feelings.


Bye Felichia!!!

Peace

I was a spectator and had absolutely nothing approaching mild interest in the outcome of the game... As I said, curious situation and wondered if a majority of the professionals would have done the same. There isn't even a shot clock where I coach.

Coach, at a juco game, I can assure you that the officials were certainly not professionals (at least, not in the sense of "this is my only job")... in fact, it's entirely possible that they weren't paid enough to cover their travel expenses.

Very few of us will ever end up at a level where this can be our only means of income.

Just something to think about...

Bob Jenkins gave you an excellent answer as did the poster who noted that a pass which strikes the ring does not cause a shot clock reset, it must be a try for goal. Please don't let one or two unfriendly posters chase you away from learning more about the game on this site. There are many excellent people on here who can help you and answer your questions with class.

An excellent point. JC ball was $100 per game and a 90-mile trip each way when I was working that level.
