SPECIAL NOTES
11. MINIMUM PLAYING REQUIREMENT
All
eligible players on the bench must participate in each game. Failure to do so may result in
forfeiture. The District Chairperson or
Sports Chairperson has the authority to further discipline the coach or
manager.
There is no mandated length of playing time during
league play. However, taking into
consideration the number of players on a team, we highly recommend that each
player play at least ¼ of each game. (The South Central District Supplemental
Rules require all eligible players to participate in each half.) Failure to comply with the spirit of this
recommendation may result in disciplinary action by the District.
THE 25% MINIMUM PLAYING TIME
WILL BE MANDATORY DURING ALL DISTRICT AND ARCHDIOCESAN PLAYOFF GAMES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM PLAYING
TIME DURING PLAYOFFS MAY RESULT IN FORFEITURE OF GAME AND FURTHER DISCIPLINARY
ACTIONS.
Rule
9 Section 13 “NO PRESS” RULE
A.
In all Divisions, when a team is ahead by 20
or more points, that team cannot press.
This rule applies during the entire game including the last two minutes.
B.
In the Crusader and Lower Divisions (6th
grade and younger) for both boys and girls, the offensive team shall be allowed to bring
the ball and the player with the ball entirely into the frontcourt without
being pressed when the ball is inbounded into the backcourt. A team can press when the ball is inbounded
into the backcourt during the last two minutes and any overtime periods. A team can press on turnovers and rebounds
if they are not ahead by 20 points or more.
C.
A violation of the “No Press” Rule shall result in a warning
and a second violation will result in a team technical foul. This foul is not assessed against a player
or coach. The defensive players must
permit the ball and the offensive player with the ball entirely into the
frontcourt before they can play the ball.
The defense must stay 3 feet
from midcourt or the center circle extended until the offensive team is
established in the frontcourt.
Rule 10 Section 4 Article 5
The head coach is
responsible for
the conduct and behavior of substitutes, disqualified squad members, all other
bench personnel and fans. Note 1:
A technical foul on any of the above will result in an indirect
technical foul charged to the head coach.
