I have a game tomorrow night. Fairly small gym with wierd sitch. One basketball goal will go up all the way. The other won't and has to stay stationary. Various partners have wanted to do different things with this in different games and each cite differrent rules.. Some one who really knows... how do you deal with this? Short on time and lots to do between now and then. Thanks in advance.

Rev, Had that last night. We ruled the backboard that was up was part of the ceiling. The stationary backboard (in playable area) was a judgement call for the R1. If there was a player there to make a play and hits were remaining - replay. If all the backboard did was keep the ball from contacting the wall - it was out.

Good luck - Had a similar sich last year in a small Jr High gym. Called the replay and was confronted by a parent after the game. "why did you allow them to get a replay when their first contact was a bad pass toward the backboard?" I explained that we had covered it in our coaches and captains meeting and that we were always looking for people interested in volleyball rules to become officials....she shut up quick.
