Illegal Player on court
Looking for general feedback.
My rep team played away at the largest Association in NSW.
I IPads are checked by both teams and said to be correct before the game.
The game starts and during the first half No:13 subs on for the home team.
That player scores 2 points and then a little later is subbed out.
My teams person was doing the IPad scoring and advised that No:13 is not on the IPad and it is said she is not registered with Gameday prior to the comp starting therefore she is not registered with the team to play.
The basket she scores is not put down as she is not on the IPad
The Court Supervisor is called for and takes their time getting there and mean while the game continues.
On a video received it show shows all this and the Court Supervisor can be seen talking with the Home teams Manager for sometime.
On a copy of Glory League it does not show her scoring but on the video one of my parent was doing it does.
Then just before the start of the 3rd quarter the Court Supervisor comes to the score table and in conjunction with the team coach the supervisor tells the bench to put the score on one of their other players which you see occurs at the bottom where the points for players shows(2 points)
The score on Glory League changes to make the half time score from 36-29 to 38-29.
At the completion of the game the final score is 60-58 which shows on the BNSW Website results but when you add up the score of the home teams players the score only adds up to 58.
As the coach I approach the Supervisor when I find out after the game the home team played and illegal player.
The comment I get back is we have contacted BNSW and I asked again so what did they say and the reply was we have contacted BNSW.
I lthen left and on monday morning I received my parents video copy of the game which I provided as eveidence to our Basketball General Manager.
She contacted BNSW and they said they would get back to her.
BNSW replied to her on tuesday and advised that the score at the top of the teams results panel even though the players points show the difference of 2 points less.
BNSW said the result will stand but we are investigating and that is where it is at.
I know this is long winded but I am interested in peoples thoughts as I feel my team has been let down and the home team should be declared as forfeiting the game due to playing an illegal player.
What is annoying is that the game was never stopped even when the supervisor eventually came out.
All she did was talk with the home team,team Manager and at half time to bench to get the 2 pointsadded on.
It will be interesting to see if BNSW do come back further with anything or if the matter will just get swepped under the carpet.
