Vandy

Vandy for years has elected to have the benches off the endline. I've never noticed, but I don't recall any restriction for the coaches in this setting. Is there any?

Low post officiating

I played low post through school 35 years ago. Occasionally, while positioning either defensively or offensively, some "chicken fighting" would occur. Nobody is displaced, just two players using...

Throw in clarification, please

A1 throwing in, guarded by B1. After A1 releases the ball, can B1 legally reach through the plane and contact the ball before it even reaches the plane?

High elbows with contact

I called a recent HS game with a college official who also calls some HS ball. We had never called together before. Here is what we ran into:

First half: A1 while attempting to dribble past B1...

Big girl takes the hit

Ball contact causes player control foul?

Just being annoying...

You guys have anything when B1 while guarding a throw-in helps you count by screaming (and I mean screaming!) ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR?!!! By the way, is there anything louder than a middle schooler?

Did you call that a CHARGE? Yes I did.

The following is a conversation I had with a varsity coach for whom I have called several games over the last few years. Conversation was respectful, but spirited. Took place during a time-out.

Biggravy, your point is excellent. On a drive from one of the wings C or T can stay with it and likely get a decent look. My issue is the defender is a secondary one and must have come up from one...

When the ball is legally touched inbounds isn't the arrow required to be switched? I agree it is logical that a team is not allowed consecutive A/P throws in, but where may I find that reference?

Another wrong team question

A/P throw in for Team A. Official mistakenly allows B1 to step out for the throw-in and he completes the throw-in to B2. Anything preventing switching the arrow to B?
