MISC. Coaches-All teams may have one coach, this coach must be listed on their roster and must be a current KU student or employee. The captain is designated as the team’s spokesperson to the official.  They are the only player who should be speaking to the officials; all other players could receive a technical foul for verbal abuse towards an official. A jump ball at half-court will start the game and each overtime period. All other jump ball situations will be awarded utilizing the alternating possession. Substitutions will be carried out during a dead ball.  Substitutes must kneel in front of the scorer’s table until they are signaled into the game by the official. Dunking is permitted, however, hanging on the rim is prohibited and will be penalized with a technical foul.  Dunking in warm-up will result in a technical foul to be shot before the jump ball is administered. Foul shots will be awarded to a player who is fouled in the act of shooting.  All other common fouls committed will result in a throw in from the side/baseline nearest to where the foul occurred. Exception: In the event that a team has committed seven (7) team fouls in one half a 1-and-1 will be shot on every foul after the seventh.  There will be no double bonus.  A flagrant or intentional foul will always result in a two shot foul and possession of the basketball. In the event of foul shots, both teams will be required to promptly assume their position in the foul lane.  Any attempt to stall the free throw can result in a technical foul.   CONDUCT All teams are expected to treat their opponents, the officials, Recreational Services employees and spectators with the highest level of respect.  Unsportsmanlike behavior WILL NOT BE TOLERATED and can result in an ejection or suspension. Unsportsmanlike conduct includes: taunting, profanity, obscene gestures, and abusive or obscene language and/or actions.  All of these may result in a technical foul or ejection from the game. Any forms of deliberate violent contact (including striking with the elbow, kicking, kneeing, etc.) will result in immediate ejection of the player from the game and a minimum one game suspension. Fighting of any kind will result in expulsion from the league and possible one-year suspension from participating in any Intramural event. Any player ejected from a game by an official or supervisor must leave the building immediately and will be suspended from the league for a minimum of one (1) game.  Four technical fouls on the same team in the same game will result in the game being ended.
