Question Number: 28479

Law 15 - Throw In 6/6/2014

RE: Youth Club Under 16

Paul of Paramus, New Jersey USA asks...

This question is a follow up to question 27614

As a follow up to question #27614 is a referee at any level allowed to stop play before a throw in to ensure that is taken from the right spot?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Paul,
Yes that is correct. In fact it can be the 'best' decision for the game. I do this quite regularly by not allowing the TI to be taken and directing the taker to the correct location.

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

Certainly. It's always better for a ref to be proactive to stop bad things from happening before they do. That doesn't mean the ref gets to coach the team, but a word in moderation can be very beneficial to keep the game in line.
