Thanks for the clarification,  Walt.  Do they have jurisiction when they are walking TO the court? Let's say they are chatting with some parents coming out of the locker room or talking to an AD before going onto the floor?  Or do they have to be on the actual playing court to have jurisdiction to assess a technical?

I don't know the actual wording. But I would think that they would be considered taking control of the game once they enter the gym and can see what is happening.

That's exactly how it was explained to me Walt by 4 different officials that I had asked.  But I was trying to find the rule book to substantiate it.  I can't without paying for a download of the rule book.

It's ridiculous , imo, to have to pay $7 to look at the rule book.

The "everybody does it" defense, basketball edition. You can't suspend referees for enforcing the rules. Unless Corbin's opponents broke the rule on pre-game dunking and the referees failed to enforce the rule, then Corbin fans have no legitimate beef.

Bottom line it is a rule.. However, it was being enforced on coach P for a reason. Could it have been get back for roof leak at Corbin that caused South to come back to Corbin and play a 4 minute game? Haha.. who knows the why of it but it happened and now these refs set a precedent that should be followed by all going forward..
