The noisemeter adds instant excitement, noise, and energy during a game. Every now and then, we get somebody who knows what they are doing and they use it right when the official hands the ball to the other team on an inbounds play or when we are pressing. It seems to really fluster the other team and to energize our guys.
However, far too often, it is wasted while teams are just breaking their huddle and by the time the game resumes, it has lost its impact. Seems like somebody needs to get a better clue about when to flip the switch. I think the no brainers are as follows:
1-When the other team comes out of a panic time out and the official is handing them the ball.
2-When we are pressing and the other team is struggling.
3-When we are on D and the shot clock gets down to 12 seconds or so.
There may be other times but these are slam dunks. Too bad one of the coaches can't que it.
