Nov 15 Update: Registration is now closed! We will be working on the 7th-12th grade schedule over the weekend and fine tuning the entire league schedule on Sunday and Monday. The schedule will be released to coordinators on Tuesday for a final review before we release it to everyone around the 25th of November.

Points of Emphasis

 

Please click on and read each of our points of emphasis for the 2019-20 season. The league discussed these in a meeting with coordinators on October 15th and again on October 17th with officials who work in our league.

Increasingly, we receive complaints from officials and coaches regarding scorekeeper/bookkeeper behavior. We will have a zero-tolerance policy this season. The only reason to speak to an official is to ask a question pertinent to the game. Any scorekeeper or clock operator who yells at the officials is to be immediately ejected from the gym. In the pregame huddle, the coaches and table personnel are to be informed of this policy.

Officials prior to the pregame huddle need to identify the gym monitor. Coaches can no longer serve as the gym monitor. If no gym monitor is present, the league must be informed before the game is allowed to begin.

Assistant coaches are not permitted, by rule, to stand or speak to the ref. The first time an assistant speaks to the officials, a bench warning is to be given, followed by a technical, then ejection.

All coaches must sit after a technical without exception. If a coach stands after being told they must sit, a technical is to be issued. If this results in an ejection, then so be it.

Officials are not crowd control. They are there to officiate the game. If an official, hears a fan acting or saying something inappropriate. A bench warning is to be issued on the offending team. On the second occurrence the head coach is issued a technical foul. On any further continuance of the bad behavior, the head coach is ejected from the game.

We will call the man to man rule according to the rules. In addition to the point being awarded on the third instance of illegal defense, the head coach will be issued a technical. No foul shots will be administered. On the second offense, a second technical will be issued resulting in the ejection of the head coach.
