Those students are eligible to work games involving 7th and 8th grade students. Contact the State Office for more information. A reminder to officials to sign the back of the scoresheet of each varsity game with their name and official's number in order to receive a rating for that game. Coaches, the ratings are important as they are the manner in which you determine the officials you would like to see officiating in the district, regional and state tournaments. Thoughtfully rate officials throughout the season using the criteria stated on the back of the scoresheet.
Time outs .
Once an official indicates the choice of time out to the official scorer, the choice is irrevocable. The opposite is also true. Page 74 of the rule book clarifies somewhat the responsiblities during a time out. The official shall allow the players on the floor a reasonable opportunity to get to their team's bench before asking the timer to begin the time out countdown. Officials, make sure the timer starts the time out clock on your approval, not when they choose to.
