TECHNICAL FOUL Rule 15-A—8

 

*SECTION 3. Leave the court, except as authorized by the rules.

Ques.—If a player steps out of bounds to avoid running into
another player, has he committed a foul for leaving the court?
Ans.—No. However, if he steps off the court to set up a play he
should be penalized. This section is intended to prevent a player
from leaving the court for illegal or unsportsmanlike purposes.

SECTION 4. Go on the court as a substitute until he has re-

ported to the Scorers and play has been ‘suuspended.
He shall not participate in the game until he has reported to and
been accepted by an Official.

NOTE—A substitute is expected to report immediately to one of the
Officials and play is to be resumed promptly whether or not 30 seconds
have elapsed, unless he enters when time is being taken out for some other
purpose.
Ques.—An Official calls a foul on a substitute for not reporting.
After the free throw he calls another foul because the substitute
has still failed to report. Is this right? Amns—dAfter the first
foul and before the free throw is attempted, the Official should
see that the substitute properly reports to the Scorers and to
himself. One foul is enough for failure to report to an Official
or Scorers, or to both.

*SECTION 5. Enter the game after leaving it three times, or
after being disqualified.
PENALTY— (Sections 1, 2, 8, 4, 5.)

Free trial for goal and for infraction of Section 5, player disqualified.
If two or more substitutes of the same team go on the court at the same
time without reporting to the Scorers, or Official only one foul shall be
called, this being charged to the captain.

NOTE—tThe foul for infraction of Sections 4 and 5 should be
called when the teams indicate they are ready for play, but before
play is actually resumed. If, however, the infraction is not dis-
covered before play is resumed, the foul may be called thereafter.

SECTION 6. Change his number during the game without report-

ing the change to the Scorers and Referee.
PENALTY—
The player shall be disqualified for the rest of the game, and a free
throw awarded.
B. Conduct of Coaches

SECTION 7. A coach shall neither coach nor address remarks to
the players in the game.

SECTION 8. A coach shall not address remarks to an Official dur-
ing the progress of the game, nor shall he go on the

court, except with the approval of an Official, to attend an injured

player.

NOT E—Sections 7 and 8 apply to time-out periods and two-minute
intermissions as well as to when the ball is in play. Anyone on the
