**********************************************
How do you prevent shin splints (pain along front of your lower legs)? You may not always be able to prevent shin splints, but you can reduce your risk of developing the condition or making it worse. To lower your risk, you can:

Wear supportive shoes when exercising. Running shoes should be replaced every 300 miles. Consider wearing orthotic inserts that support your arches. Stop in and chat with someone at a running shoe store where they can help match your foot type with a proper running shoe or orthotic. You may also consider speaking with a podiatrist. A podiatrist is a specialist in using shoes and other footwear to solve problems related to your lower legs and feet.
Start slowly and increase your activity level and intensity over time. Avoid sudden increases in activity. Stick to the 10% rule — don’t increase more than 10% per week in activity. For example, if you run 5 miles (8 kilometers) total in one week, you should only add a half mile to your total mileage the following week (5.5 miles or 8.85 kilometers total).
Stretch before exercising to help prevent shin splints: towsonsportsmedicine.com/wp-content/uploads/Management-of-Shin-Splints.pdf
Avoid surfaces that are hard, uneven or hilly when you’re running. If you run often, consider adding low-impact exercises (like swimming) to your exercise program to give your legs a break from the stress of running. Consider cross-training and taking days off.
Rest between activities to allow your muscles and bones time to heal.
Use pain as your guide. If you’re noticing shin pain, reduce your activity level until this improves. Don’t try to push through pain.

EDUCATIONAL TIP FROM THE POINT GUARD COLLEGE (PGC) (the late Dick Devenzio)
Scholars are proud of their efforts just like athletes. They strive for excellence in a library just like athletes do in the gym or on the field.
If you don’t currently have a sense of what it’s like to be a real student, try this:
Try just walking around like a real student. Walk into class like someone who is eager to learn – even if you aren’t – and take some notes as though you want to be able to recall that information later – even if you don’t.
Sit and look the teacher in the eye and pretend, if necessary, that the things in your book are of great interest.
Acting like a real student makes it easier to be a real student.
And regardless of what some of your friends may think, anyone who spends many hours a day in school ought to find a way to enjoy that time and make the most of it.
**********************************************
EDUCATIONAL TIP from PGC:  Just minutes before five-year-olds figure out how to tie a shoe, they cannot do it.
Think about that.They do not appear to be getting better at almost tying shoes. Usually they simply cannot get it – then they can!
Course work is the same way. Sometimes you can go for several weeks not understanding then suddenly, it starts to make sense. Pieces of the puzzle begin to fit, and the whole picture begins to make sense.
You just have to keep at it.
The puzzle won’t present itself while you are rationalizing and making excuses. It will present itself while you are trying to make it make sense.
**********************************************
BALL-HANDLING: THERE ARE MANY DRILLS (SEE BELOW) BUT THE KEY QUESTION IS "CAN YOU DO EVERYTHING WITH BOTH HANDS?"--OF COURSE YOU CAN IF YOU PRACTICE
**********************************************
SHOOTING: THE BEST ARC FOR YOUR SHOT IS 45 DEGREES: ARC CAN BE TOO FLAT OR TOO HIGH (SEE THE LINK AT THE END OF THIS POST); EVERY SHOT CAN BE STRAIGHT--LONG & SHORT MUST BE PRACTICED--GOAL IS 11 INCHES BEYOND THE FRONT OF THE RIM--FOR ADDITIONAL SHOT TECHNIQUE, ASK TO BORROW THE NICK NURSE VIDEO FROM COACH CLARK. DRILLS TO IMPROVE ARC

**********************************************
ANOTHER TIP FROM PGC (POINT GUARD COLLEGE)--PULL-UP JUMPER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWoGL55vrHI
**********************************************
ANOTHER TIP FROM PGC (POINT GUARD COLLEGE): Good players make easy things look easy, and even a lot of hard things look easy.
Taking the ball up court on one defender is not hard, so don’t make it look hard with nine clever moves.
Learn to accomplish things simply.
Use one move. One burst of speed. One change of direction.
The habit will pay off in tough games.

PLAN A FEW MINUTES DAILY TO HANDLE THE BALL AND SHOOT--IT IS ALWAYS MORE FUN WHEN THE SHOT GOES IN AND YOU CAN HANDLE IT MORE EASILY AND THE SCIENCE SAYS THAT EVEN A FEW DAILY QUALITY REPS (INSTEAD OF LOTS OF REPS ONE DAY AND NOTHING FOR SEVERAL DAYS) WILL MAKE THAT HAPPEN. ARE YOU IN SHAPE--LIFE IS MORE FUN IF YOU ARE--IF YOU ARE OUT FOR A SPORT, DO YOU NEED TO DO ANYTHING EXTRA TO BE READY TO PLAY BASKETBALL? IF YOU ARE NOT OUT FOR A SPORT, ARE YOU GETTING STRONGER AND IMPROVING YOUR ENDURANCE? PUSHUPS AND PULLUPS WILL DO A LOT IF YOU CAN'T DO THE WEIGHT TRAINING DESCRIBED BELOW. ANY KIND OF RUNNING THAT IS LIKE A BB GAME WILL HELP!

WHEN RAY ALLEN WAS ASKED HOW MANY PRACTICE SHOTS HE HAD TAKEN DURING HIS LIFE, HE SAID THAT HE LOOKS AT PRACTICE SHOTS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN SOME. HE SAID THAT IF YOU TELL ME YOU TOOK 500 SHOTS YESTERDAY, I WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY 500 BAD SHOTS. IF YOU TOOK 150 SHOTS AT GAME SPEED WITH A SETUP CUT, PROPER TECHNIQUE, ETC., YOU PROBABLY IMPROVED--QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY

Why does this work? www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2O6mQkFiiw
Are you willing to invest 20 minutes a day on ball-handling and shooting so that you can make more plays in your next game? Daily practice will help you more than a long practice today and another long practice one week from today.Warmup with 5 foot jump shots focusing on straight and arc. Then go to shots off back-to-the-basket, facing pre-dribble and dribble moves, following your shot hard, a putback whether you made or missed, make a dribble move to your next shooting position and repeat--your goal should be correct execution and increased speed of the move. Go hard until you need to rest and then take a break with free throws. Finish your workout with hard 2-ball dribbling, both stationary and moving. An option is to play one-on-one with a player of your ability or better, that will sharpen both of you a lot. With either of these, you will be a better player than you were when you began!

(Under construction) 2025-2026 SCC BOYS’ BASKETBALL GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PLAYERS AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS

Welcome to South Central Calhoun Titan Basketball! We are glad to have you in the program! The information below can help you and you will be expected to know it. If you have any questions, contact Coach Clark (call or text 712-297-0160 or email [email protected]) or Coach Erkenbrack ([email protected]).

1. Required warning of inherent dangers: Student-athletes and parents/guardians should be aware that any athletic participation will always have inherent dangers. Although rare, death or catastrophic injury can result from participation in sports, and care should be taken by all concerned to minimize dangers through the use of appropriate equipment, proper training methods and common sense.

2. Academic achievement: In the term “student-athlete”, there is a reason that the word “student” comes first—academics must be our highest priority. To paraphrase the NCAA commercial, almost all student-athletes will “go pro” in something other than sports. However, athletics and other extracurricular activities can teach many “life lessons”, contribute greatly to the physical and mental health of students, be a tremendous source of enjoyment and memories and reveal and enhance many components of “character”.
3. Eligibility: See the parent-student handbook for rules about student eligibility for athletic activities and the good conduct rule. A STUDENT MUST BE IN SCHOOL ALL DAY ON PRACTICE AND GAME DAYS TO PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE OR A GAME UNLESS PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH MRS. PIBAL. COMING TO SCHOOL WITH A NOTE FROM A DOCTOR SEEN THAT DAY IS NOT A SUFFICIENT EXCUSE UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN MADE WITH MRS.PIBAL.
4. General behavior: When talking to all school staff and coaches, refer to them as “Mr./Ms.” and last name or “Coach” unless they have told you otherwise. Players represent themselves, their family, their school, the SCC athletic program and their communities. In addition, younger students look up to players as examples—be a great one! Simply put, always do “the right thing”. We will follow the Golden Rule and treat others the way that we would like to be treated. It is unacceptable to criticize a teammate’s play or behavior—instead, if you have such a concern, speak privately with a coach. If another person criticizes your teammate’s play, defend your teammate—speak of the positive contributions that that player makes. If necessary, point out that none of us are perfect or trying to fail. We are all in this together—whether the goal is basketball successes or a better world for all of us.

Basketball is a great game and we are lucky to be able to play it--we will not be able to play it forever. However, it is not an easy game—it is played at high speed, often very physically, playing both offense and defense and transitioning from one to the other very quickly. Athletics builds character, first by revealing character in some high pressure and high speed situations, and then by giving us new opportunities to do even better. We will not accept ourselves as we are—instead, we will strive together toward our fullest potential as individuals and as a team.
We will control what we can control—our effort (striving to always play hard—it is more fun to play hard), our attitude (striving to always be positive even in the event of inevitable adversity—“next play” as a message to yourself, your teammates and opponents) and our choices (striving to always do the right thing). When we individually or as a team are unsuccessful, we will look in the mirror, learn from our errors and redouble our individual efforts rather than live in the past (if you make an offensive mistake you have an immediate opportunity to make up for it on the defensive end) make excuses or blame or complain about others. In the face of pressure, we will “breathe”, think about how to execute (focus on the technique, not the result) and remember that if we fail, those who love us, still will, and if we succeed, we can remember it forever.
Emotional outbursts (in practice or games or at any other time that a player is with the team) that would be likely to result in a technical foul (including when you are upset with yourself—the referees don’t always know that you are upset with yourself—furthermore, it is both embarrassing and painful to hit a wall or glass in anger at yourself and severely injure yourself--profanity directed at yourself or others may result in a technical foul), profanity, fighting, school suspensions or detentions, roughhousing in the locker room, hazing of other players or other misconduct will result in a penalty determined by the head coach. DURING A GAME, AN OUTBURST CAN RESULT IN YOUR EJECTION AND SUSPENSION FROM ONE OR MORE GAMES—THE IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HAS ASKED COACHES TO EMPHASIZE THIS WARNING—IT WILL BE ENFORCED.

Great sportsmanship is expected—help any player off the floor (sometimes that will be rejected, but you did the right thing), no trash talk, etc. When you do something well, act like you have done it before and do not celebrate like it is the first time that you have ever done anything well (the NBA’s Kawhi Leonard and MLB's Aaron Judge are great examples of experiencing success with humility)—instead, congratulate the teammates who helped you. If your opponent is talking, jabbing, etc., DO NOT RETALIATE (it is unsportsmanlike and usually the second action gets caught), but do tell your coaches as soon as possible. Do not help the official make the call—s/he dislikes receiving your help and you have other things to think about. REGARDING OFFICIALS, WE WANT OTHERS TO ASSUME THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO OUR BEST AND WE ARE GOING TO ASSUME THE SAME OF OFFICIALS—IF AN OBVIOUS MISTAKE IS MADE, WE WILL REMEMBER THAT WE ARE NOT PERFECT EITHER AND OCCASIONALLY EVEN WE MAKE MISTAKES. BE SMART AND ADJUST TO THE WAY IN WHICH THE GAME IS BEING CALLED.

Bench players (remember that all are on the bench at some point) must be supportive of teammates but maintain self-control. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A FIGHT ON THE COURT, BENCH PLAYERS MAY NOT STAND OR LEAVE THE BENCH AREA EVEN IF THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE FIGHT—THE REFEREES WILL BREAK UP THE FIGHT—IF YOU GET INVOLVED, YOU WILL BE EJECTED FROM THIS GAME AND PROBABLY SUSPENDED FOR MORE GAMES.

Being present while others engage in substance abuse or other illegal activity is dangerous and unacceptable and can be illegal. If you need to tell others a reason why you cannot be there, tell them that both you and your team will have to pay at least a serious running penalty if you are simply present during such activities. Further, be a leader and support and encourage other students to avoid such activity.

Be smart with social media. If you press “send”, the contents are now “out there” for all to see and judge and comment on—forever! Does it really need to be said? Is saying it going to do you any good? Get a second opinion from someone who cares about you before you say it. Secondly, don’t compare your real life with the fake life of others. The only “likes” that count are those from those who love you.

5. Forms: To practice, players must have the following on file with Mrs. Blair in the high school principal’s office on second floor:
1) current physical, 2) emergency medical record, 3) good conduct form and 4) concussion form.

6. Practice-game schedule: The schedule will soon be shown below--THE SCHEDULE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE--CHECK THE SCHEDULE DAILY. ROSTERS FOR JVR AND JV GAMES WILL BE POSTED ON THAT SCHEDULE AS SOON AS DETERMINED. If school is in session, changes may be published in the daily school announcements—players will be expected to read the school announcements daily--HOWEVER, THIS PAGE SHOULD BE CHECKED DAILY. If school is not in session, check this webpage. There will be no practices on Sunday unless, at the end of the season, we are scheduled to play a tournament game on a Monday. Players are not required to attend open gym on Sunday—it is completely optional. The varsity will practice on Saturdays unless otherwise announced. This gives us an edge on our opponents by doing extra ball-handling and shooting, reviewing and improving what occurred on Friday night, preparing for a Monday or Tuesday game, getting “live” minutes for those who did not get enough on Friday night and getting strength training on a day that does not precede a game night. As with any other practice, players may be excused in advance for a family activity or other activities such as the ACT Test. These practices give us about 12-15 total hours of practice during the season that other teams don't get.

7. Promptness: For all scheduled activities, plan to arrive early and be ready to participate at the scheduled time. Give yourself extra time since unexpected delays can occur. If you are late, the coaches reserve the right to assess consequences. Buses will leave on time and you may not participate if you do not ride the bus unless other arrangements have been made with the principal. If an emergency arises and you are going to be late, text or call Coach Clark (712-297-0160). Note that if you are one minute late for school, by school policy, you will not be allowed to practice or play in a game that night.

8. Practice attendance: If a player misses practice for any reason, his playing time may be affected—players must practice to improve and to help the team improve! Students participating in school activities must be in school the entire day in order to practice or participate in a school activity that day. If a player knows in advance that he will miss practice, he must give an explanatory note to the coach from the player’s parent/guardian before the absence—again, playing time may be affected because players must practice to improve and to help the team improve. If you do not have a fever, nausea or some other extreme condition, you should at least watch practice—if you have a communicable condition, stay away from others.

9. Lettering policy: If, in the opinion of the coaches, a player contributes significantly to the development of the varsity, the player will be awarded a varsity letter at the end of the season. This policy is intentionally vague so as to give coaches the option of rewarding those who are deserving.

10. Equipment: Varsity players will be issued school uniforms, a practice reversible, and a warm up top. JV/JVR players will be issued a practice reversible and uniform tops. JV/JVR players should wear their own black shorts so that they will fit well . All players should wear white socks and white accessories such as headbands, etc., in games and scrimmages except that if a shirt is worn under the uniform top, it must be of the same color as the torso of the uniform top. For the varsity uniforms and warmups, please follow the following laundering guidelines: uniform should not lay on itself when wet—should be hung or laundered immediately, cold water wash, wash white separately from colored, use detergent with pH under 10, do not use chlorine bleach or fabric softener, remove from machine immediately after washing, line dry (do not press or dry clean). Players are responsible for the security of that equipment and their own equipment. If the player cannot watch the equipment, he should lock it up. Locks can be obtained from coaches. If any school equipment is lost or shows excessive use, the player will be charged the replacement cost of the equipment. Players that have not turned in school equipment or attire from a previous sport are not to be issued any other school equipment nor will they be permitted to participate in any athletic contest until ALL materials have been turned in or paid for. Players still delinquent at the end of the school year will not receive their final grades. For practice, players should have a filled water bottle marked with their name next to the practice floor so time is not wasted leaving the gym to get a drink and the player can quickly get a drink at any convenient time. For games, players should have that same filled water bottle. For your information, a possible solution to shoe odor is a product called "On Your Toes".

Mouth guards:
1. A tooth and mouth protector (intra oral), if worn shall:
     a. include an occlusal (protecting and separating the biting surfaces) portion;
     b. include a labial (protecting the teeth and supporting structures) portion;
     c. cover the posterior teeth with adequate thickness;
2. It is recommended that the protector be properly fitted, protecting the anterior (leading) dental arch and:
     a. constructed from a model made from an impression of the individual’s teeth, or
     b. constructed and fitted to the individual by impressing the teeth into the tooth and mouth protector itself.

11. Injury/illness: If you ever suspect that you or a teammate are ill or injured or have had a concussion when you are with the team, including during practice, immediately notify the nearest coach. If you are not with the team and you are required to seek medical attention due to a basketball related activity, report that to the head coach at your earliest convenience. If any player has missed practice or game time due to illness or injury and was under the care of any medical practitioner, the player must give to a coach a written statement from the medical practitioner allowing a return to competition. If you require taping before practice or a game, allow extra time, make arrangements with coaches and, when practicing immediately after school, go to the training room before getting dressed for practice. With your parent/guardian’s approval, get a flu shot to reduce your chances of missing class, practice or a game. Always wash your hands whenever possible—that is still the best way to stop the spread of communicable disease. It is highly recommended that players wear a mouth-guard in practice and games. If the player normally wears glasses or contacts, prescription goggles are an option—if you have questions about how to obtain these, contact Coach Clark. If you wear glasses, an athletic strap for the glasses is necessary. If possible, keep an extra pair of contacts or glasses in your bag. Specifically regarding concussions, go to www.iahsaa.org/resources/health-safety/. If a player receives a concussion when not with the team, please report that to Coach Clark as soon as possible. Physical therapy is offered to SCC student-athletes—for further information check with Coach Clark. IT IS NOT SMART TO “PLAY HURT” UNLESS YOU HAVE FIRST BEEN EXAMINED AND CLEARED BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.

12. Diet/hydration: Go to www.iahsaa.org/resources/health-safety/ and www.gssiweb.org/docs/default-source/sse-docs/bball-taskforce_sse_16850b3dc017b6b677fa80eff000013fd5d.pdf?sfvrsn=2. To avoid muscle cramping, stay hydrated and emphasize potassium through orange juice and bananas. Sugar is quick energy followed by a corresponding low--avoid it--see the links for alternatives.

13. Use of facilities, including weight room: Upon completion of all afternoon classes, athletes are to take all items to their activities’ lockers and should not enter the school hallways after 4 p.m. Players are to enter and exit the building through the doors by the locker rooms. "Roughhousing" and throwing towels or other objects are not allowed in the locker room. Hazing of other players is not allowed--again, the Golden Rule. Showers should be turned off after showering. Only coaches and players are allowed in the locker room. No glass containers are permitted in the locker room. Equipment must be removed from all lockers by the end of the first day following the conclusion of the season. Students shall not be in the weight room or other school facilities without adult supervision. Weights must be replaced after use. Shirt and shoes are required in the weight room at all times.
Lifters must work with a partner. Lifters must know their limits—players should work
with a coach to determine those limits. Lifts should be done with correct technique and it is better to use light weights for correct lifting than heavier weights and risk injury. All lifters should warm-up with proper stretching exercises to avoid injury. No student should be in the training room and/or use the whirlpool or any heat or electrical appliances without supervision of a coach.

14. Bus trips: As noted above, school vehicles will leave at the scheduled time. Players must ride the school vehicle to and from away games. Exceptions are: 1) a parent talks to a coach after the game and signs the “sign-out” form, or 2) before the school vehicle leaves to the event, the parent makes arrangements with the principal for the player to ride from the event with another adult. The emergency door on buses will not be opened unless authorized by the driver. Players will assist in carrying gear to and from the school vehicles.

15. Parking/entrance: At the high school, follow the school-day parking rules and enter through the south lockerroom doors. At the middle school, (1) park for practices in the east lot (and not next to the building) and enter through the northeast doors and (2) park for games in either the east or west lot and enter through either the east or west main doors. At the elementary school, park in the south lot and enter the preschool doors on the west side. At all schools, if there is unplowed snow, do not park in that snow as snow removal could begin before you return to your vehicle. At Opportunity Living, do not park in a handicapped space, do not block in another vehicle, park on the east side, if possible, and if there are no spaces there, park in the west lot or on the east gravel.

16. Practice procedure:
A) Play hard—you will have more fun, you will be involved in more plays, you will improve yourself and your team—Michael Jordan’s favorite practice time was trying to beat Scottie Pippen one-on-one after practice and he always wanted Pippen to guard him in practice because Pippen was the best defender. Be quick but don't hurry.
B) Be fun to play with: e.g. pass, screen, help on defense, encourage teammates, help up your teammate who dives for the loose ball or takes the charge.
C) Do not touch fixed rims or rims/backboards on lower youth baskets. Do not dunk in practice unless individuals are practicing dunking under a coach’s supervision. Dunk off two feet.
D) Keep practice clothes with you even on game day—practice times may change or we may practice if a game is postponed due to weather problems elsewhere, etc.
E) Don’t kick basketballs
F) Learn by watching other players. Less experienced watch more experienced. Ask questions.
G) Acknowledge teammate’s assist
H) Encourage teammates. Coach each other--in the way that you would want to be coached.
I) Have filled water bottle with your name on it near mid-court--get a drink when you need one
J) Have reversible at practice—wash it often
K) Look at and listen to speakers—don’t yawn—they will listen to you
L) Subs rotate on own unless told otherwise
M) Offensive player calls foul
N) On “stop”, freeze where you are, hold ball, and listen
O) Talk when necessary on offense and defense—use leadership voice so that you are heard
P) Whenever you begin practice shooting, including pre-practice, start with 5 Mikan jumps hooks on each side of the basket, 5 reps of form shooting, then start 5 feet from the basket; if you swish the shot, take a step back; if you miss, take a step forward; as soon as you are warmed up, toss the ball to the desired reception spot, cut hard to the catch, add a triple threat or split or dribble move before the shot. Focus on straight, arc and game speed.
Q) We will make every effort to start and end practice at the scheduled time.
R) We do not like to do any running conditioning without a ball, but we expect that players will move hard from drill to drill and during drills. We will only do penalty running if we are lazy or selfish.
S) For practice and games, tie shoe laces in a double knot.
T) Shooting in the gym is not permitted unless supervised by a coach.
U) When out, sit and stretch
V) Whenever you can in practice, dribble with your weak hand.

17. Game procedure:
A) Equipment (no jewelry other than a small religious necklace taped to the skin and/or a medical necklace): white socks, headbands, wristbands, sleeves and tights MUST BE WHITE IN COLOR, second pair of shoes in case first pair damaged, extra shoestrings, contacts and replacement pair, snack or sport drink—water in water bottle will be supplied, glasses strap/goggles, uniform and warmup, inhaler, mouthguard, ankle brace or other injury-related equipment. If wearing shirt under uniform top, it must be same color as torso of uniform top.
B) Street dress: school clothes—casual but appropriate—we are representing our families and school.
C) If your game is the first game, be in the locker room one hour before game time. If a game precedes your game, watch the first half of the first game and then go to the locker room. If you are in the pep band, come to the locker room after you play. Use good sportsmanship as a spectator and do not criticize the officials or say anything negative to any of the players. Remember—no profanity at any time. In the unlikely event that a fight occurs on the court, do not go on the court or otherwise get involved—allow the authorities to do their job. If the officials in the first game will officiate your game, note their tendencies, remembering that they may not be consistent in your game. If you are having athletic taping done, make arrangements with the coach who will be doing the taping. If you prefer, you may go to the locker room before halftime.
D) In the locker room, if you prefer music or silence, consider bringing headphones, etc.
E) Soon after all players are in the locker room before the game, the team and coaches will meet while you are dressing to briefly discuss the game plan. After that meeting, and all are dressed, we will do a warmup off the court as a team and there will be the normal on-court warmup. If you need additional time, you may want to go to the locker room earlier.
F) On-court pre-game warmup (normally 15 minutes): all will be reviewed in practice.
G) Introduction of starters: non-starters will stand and form two lines facing each other, starters will sit on the bench. At away games, starters will go to our free-throw line at away games when they are introduced and then fist bump opponent’s starters at center court as they are introduced. At home games, starters will go to center court and fist bump a starter from the opponent’s team and then go to our free throw line until all starters are introduced (we will not fist bump officials because it is my understanding that most officials would rather not do that). After all starters are introduced, the team will huddle at our free throw line, then briefly return to the bench and starters will huddle briefly with coaches and then starters will line up for jump ball. If the national anthem is to be played before the game, that will be done after the player introductions and all of our players will form a line along the free throw line at our end facing the flag and then huddle there after the national anthem.
E) During the game if we have possession of the ball and our shot clock or the game clock goes down to 12 seconds, bench players will loudly count out the remaining seconds.
F) During the game, players who are not in the game must remain on the bench while the clock is running. If at any time a fight of any degree involving our players, coaches and officials will stop the fight and players MAY NOT LEAVE THE BENCH FOR ANY REASON. Players involved are likely to be ejected and prohibited from playing in one or more future games. Players who sense that a “fight situation” is likely must immediately notify the coaches. Players on the bench should keep track of the offenses and defenses that the team's are playing and try to evaluate the skills of each opponent.
G) If a player is on the bench during the game and the coaches ask for the player to sit next to them, he should remove his warmup immediately and hustle to the new seat. Do not expect that there will necessarily be much discussion before you enter the game, but if you have a question, ask one of the coaches. When you are told to enter the game, you will go to the scorer’s table and kneel on the large “X” on the floor in front of the scorer’s table (for home games, Mrs. Knapp or someone from SCC will be the official scorer–for away games, the official scorer will be an adult from the other team). Tell the official scorer your uniform number –they do not want to know the number of the player that you are replacing or any other information. After doing that, you remain seated on the floor until a referee waves you onto the floor–a common mistake is for the player to start on the floor before being waved by the referee. When you go on the floor, go fist bump the teammate that you are replacing. The player coming out of the game should get his water bottle and sit between the coaches. Staying hydrated is always important and especially during physical activity.
H) For a 30-second timeout, players in the game must stand in a huddle on the game floor. Help those players get their water bottle and listen to what is being discussed. For a 60-second timeout and at the quarter breaks, the players in the game will sit on the bench.
I) At half-time, all players will get their water bottle and hustle to the locker room. Immediately use the restroom and hydrate immediately and as much as necessary during the break. Water bottles will be filled by the assistant coach during the latter part of the half-time break. During the half-time discussion, sit and/or stretch as needed. After returning to the gym, sit and/or stretch as needed.
J) After the game, all players will fist bump with the opposing team and coaches. You may or may not be happy about events in the game but this is an important time to show good sportsmanship. It is possible that players on the other team may not behave appropriately, but we must treat them the way that we would like to be treated. Teammates may need extra support and we should all look to help.
K) In the locker room, we will briefly discuss the game. Afterward, make sure that you get all of your equipment including a warmup. If there is any trash, please put that in a waste basket. At home or on the road, we want to leave the locker room in the best condition possible.
