Coach’s Request for T.O. for Misapplied Rule April 7, 2018 Rule 7 0 Forum Questions This actually happened: early in the 4th with score tied Team A during face off picks up the ball in their OFFENSIVE ZONE and then runs into defensive zone and throws ball to goalie. NP as I continue the 10 second count right in front of Team A's bench. Seconds later I give the "Failure to advance" signal and tell the goalie to drop the ball right in the middle of the box. He does so and Team B quickly picks it up, I tell him to get out of the zone laterally and I blow for the restart. Team A coaches go berserk and want an explanation as to why. Maybe 4-5 seconds went by from my initial whistle to the restart. I was not going to disadvantage Team B for a coaches inquiry at this point according to rule 7, section 13 , articles 1 and 2 which I am well aware of. We had a very lively discussion as the play evolved but to stop the action and explain the rule-which Team A did not know- would have hurt Team B on the quick re-start. On plays like this the challenge must be made before the next live ball -which was only 4-5 seconds and made to the table. Please go over this and what to do in the future-for example lets say I was wrong in my call. What next ?

It would be interesting to hear what the coach thought. He probably thought they should have been under a 20 count and not a 10. Tyma's Answer: Visual Text Answer File Question Answered Yes No
