Reminders & Observations Play Situations Guest Clinician

RemindersReminders

Know the number of fouls on the key players and how many YOU called on that player

The buzzer/horn ends the period, not the whistle. When communicating with the scorers regarding

the number of fouls, ask for the “number of team fouls” and not “are we in the bonus?”

Kicking violation must be intentional and includes the whole leg.

Eye Black is illegal

RemindersReminders

Dunking before game- player or team technical?- applied to team total?- 2 free throws plus ball at division line or do we start game with jump ball after the free throws?- who can shoot the free throws?- indirect or direct to head coach?- can the coach stand in the coaching box?- when is the AP arrow set?

Warning

Shot Clock SituationShot Clock Situation

A1 is dribbling ball near division line in the front court.

Shot clock is winding down when B1 steals ball and heads to their basket.

As B1 begins their attempt for the try (ball is not released), the shot clock horn is sounded.

B1 continues his try and is fouled and the try is good.

How do we handle?

Shot Clock RulingShot Clock Ruling

Ignore horn and allow play to continue. Remind coaches that only the officials’ whistle (not horn)

stops play except for end of periods Remind shot clock operator to reset on a steal If official inadvertently blows whistle when horn is

sounded:– Whistle causes play to be dead immediately– Since ball was not released when whistle sounded,

there is no try and no foul and no score. – Resume from point of interruption to team in control

for throw-in– Have a calm chat with the shot clock operator

Injured Player SituationInjured Player Situation

Situation – A1 jumps to secure a rebound during a missed try by A2. A1 falls to the floor and turns ankle. B1 secures rebound and begins a fast break. How do we handle this?

– New Trail stays with player to assess if there is immediate need for medical attention.

– If yes, blow whistle and stop action– If no, allow action to continue and ???

Injured PlayerInjured Player Allow offense to continue progress to the basket. If offense stops progress to call a play, blow whistle If offense passes to teammate for 3-point attempt, or to a teammate in

the 3-second area for a 2-point attempt, allow this to occur. Once the try is attempted, how do we handle??

- if rebound by defense, blow whistle- if rebound by offense and ball is put right back-up, while player is in air, allow and then blow whistle- if rebound by offense and player returns to the floor, blow whistle- if rebound bounces to area away from basket, allow ball to be controlled and then blow whistle

Play SituationPlay Situation

As time expires in the 4th quarter, Manning connects with Burress for a touchdown to tie the score 23–23.

On the try for the game winning PAT, a bad snap forces Feagles to run for the PAT but Feagles fumbles the ball at the 3 yd. line.

The Patriots can’t control the fumbled ball and force it across the goal line into their own end zone where the Patriots recover.

Ruling?

Bd. 6 Super Bowl RulingBd. 6 Super Bowl Ruling

TJ assembles the crew and they rule that the recovery attempt by the Patriots provided a new force causing the ball to roll across the goal line where it was recovered by the Patriot's. 

Therefore by rule when a player forces the ball from the field of play across his own goal line (in this case by a new force to a grounded loose ball) and the ball becomes dead in that team’s possession, it is a safety.

The Giants are awarded 1 point for the safety Game Over - Giants 24  -  Patriots 23.
