Overview for New Officials

Developing the Essentials

Back to Main Page

WELCOME!

• Basketball is one of the greatest sports in the world

• It is exciting to watch and to play• It is also one of the toughest sports to

officiate and you have no place to hide.

• It is very rewarding but it is not an easy job…

COACHES CAN BE TOUGH

HEADLINE: College coaches up in arms over hand-checking rules

THIS IS WHAT FANS THINK OF US

BUT THE REWARDS ARE GREATER

AND THEY LAST A LIFETIME

Veteran West Kootenay official Don Dozzi wins provincial honour for countless of whistle blowing on

hardwood

Claudio Klarich, 30 year KBOA member, was named

Kamloops sportsperson of the year.

WHAT DOES AN OFFICIAL DO?

1. Rule Enforcement - You are the Police, the Judge and the Jury. You ensure the rules that are set out by the governing bodies are correctly administered.

2. Exercise Impartial Judgment - Both teams want to win and rely on the official to be impartial. You officiate with no biases and say “no” to an assignment when a conflict of interest exists.

3. Play Calling - We are paid to make calls. You blow your whistle and make the right call without fear of consequences.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW?

We are continually developing the four (4) essential components of basketball officiating.

1.Rule Knowledge

2.Floor Mechanics

3.Game Management

4.Court Presence

What does each components look like…

1. RULE KNOWLEDGE

• Read the Rules - FIBA Official Basketball Rules 2014 are available online for free. Make sure you have a hardcopy with you.

• Read the CABO Casebook and FIBA Interpretations - In every game, all situations are covered by the rules. It requires years of experience to apply the rules to each situation. To help you, the most common scenarios and interpretations are available online.

• Attend Training Sessions - Each local association we hold Education Sessions and go over the Rules and Interpretations. In addition, there are Regional Clinics and Official Camps held throughout the year.

• Referee Games - You need to officiate games and learn by your successes and mistakes. You will make plenty and it’s okay.

• Ask other Officials

2014 FIBA RULE BOOK

FIBA Official Basketball Rules 2014Valid as of October 1, 2014

Rule Book has 8 Rules, 50 Articles, and Appendixes A to E

•Rule One - The Game – Article 1•Rule Two - Court and Equipment – Articles 2 to 3•Rule Three - Teams – Articles 4 to 7•Rule Four - Playing Regulations – Articles 8 to 21•Rule Five - Violations – Articles 22 to 31•Rule Six - Fouls – Articles 32 to 39•Rule Seven - General Provisions – Articles 40 to 44•Rule Eight - Officials Duties and Powers – Articles 45 to 50

Appendix A is Officials’ Signals (1 to 62)Appendix B is The ScoresheetOthers C to E

2. FLOOR MECHANICS

Simply put, “mechanics” is the term that defines the processes we use from the moment we step on the court to when we leave the court at the end of the game.

• Mechanics tell us…How we stand during free-throw, time-outs, etc.How and where we move after a violation, foul or time-

out, etcHow and when we blow our whistleWhat signals we use and whenHow and when we speak to Coaches and PlayersHow to fill out the Scoresheet correctly

• Both officials on the court should appear to be “in sync” and “on the same page”.

3. GAME MANAGEMENT

• The game is in your hands from the moment you arrive on the court to when the game ends and you sign the scoresheet.

• From Start to Finish, the success of the game management is determined on how well you and your partner manage your pre-game, your warm up, your communication with the table officials*, the coaches and players.

• Table Official are part of YOUR crew. They are not part of the school when the game is underway. Be respectful and support them. They are…

• Shot Clock Operator, Official Timer and Official Scorekeeper• If a game director is present. Say “hello” and involve them is you

have to. • For 1 ½ hours, you are the manager of the basketball game.

4. COURT PRESENCE

• Blow your whistle loud• Be confident and consistent• Be in charge but not the centre of attention• Dress Sharp. Styling is Important• Be fit, groomed and stand tall• Use your voice• Say “Please” and “Thanks”• Show respect at all times• Smile once in a while• Be professional• Lastly, remember Art 46.13. The Referee shall “Have the

power to make decisions on any point not specifically covered by these rules”

SUMMARY OF FIBA 2014

OFFICIAL RULE CHANGES

Impact on KBOA Officials

Back to Main Page

Time-outs

A maximum of 2 time-outs may be granted to a team in the last 2 minutes of the 2nd half.

Note:

If the team has NOT used one of their 3 time-outs in the second half by the time of 2:00 on the shot clock, they only get 2 time-outs.

Before, they could use their 3 second half time-outs at any time before the game ended in regulation time.

Of course, no time-outs can be carry forwarded to extra periods. That is unchanged

Technical Foul Penalty

If a technical foul is committed:

The opponents shall be awarded 1 free throw (it was 2 free throws before) followed by:

A throw-in at the centre line extended, opposite the scorer’s table.

Note:

•If a technical foul is committed before the start of the game, after the 1 free throw, the game is started by a jump ball.

•A technical foul on a player, DOES count as a player foul and a team foul.

•A technical foul on a team bench personnel or head coach does NOT count as a player foul or a team foul.

Technical Foul - Disqualification

A player shall be disqualified for the remainder of the game when he is charged with 2 (two) technical fouls (“T” Foul).

It was 5 (five) T fouls before.

Notes:

•Game Disqualification also applies to a player who is charged with 2 unsportsmanlike fouls (“U” Foul); and, to a head coach who is charged with 2 Coach technical fouls against him personally (“C” Fouls), 3 Bench technical fouls (“B” Fouls), or 1 “C” Foul and 2 “B” Fouls.

•This is a Game Disqualification and shall be inscribed into the scoresheet as a “GD”.

•Players or coaches disqualified must leave the team bench area and gymnasium. Typically to the change/locker room.

Jump Ball (Held Ball)

In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 12-6 (page 6) provides the following example…

“А1 jumps with the ball and is legally blocked by B1. Both players then return to the playing court with both of them having one or both hands firmly on the ball.”

Interpretation: A held ball shall be called.

It was a Travelling before.

Notes:

•If the defender (B1) lets go a split second before landing, it is considered a Travelling. This does not change.

•If the offensive player (A1) lets go, the defender should have the ball and it is a steal.

Goal: When Made and Its Value

In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 16 (page 7) provides the following statement.

16-1.

“The value of a field goal is defined by the place on the floor from where the shot was released. A goal released from the 2-point field goal area counts 2 points, a goal released from the 3-point field goal area counts 3 points. A goal is credited to the team attacking the opponents’ basket into which the ball has entered.”

Before, it counted where it was last touched by a player. If a 3 point attempt was touched by someone in the 2 point area, it was counted as 2 points. Now it is clear. “Where shot was released:

Travelling

In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 25-5 (page 16) provides the following statement.

“If a player is fouled in the act of shooting after which he scores while committing a travel violation the basket does not count and free throws shall be awarded.”

Before, if a player drives, starts the act of shooting, is fouled, continues to the basket, shoots, and it goes in…. we counted it.

Now, we must ensure that if he travels after being fouled in the act of shooting, the basketball does NOT count.

Remember, he is still entitled to his free throws.

Double Foul

In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 35-3 (page 28) provides the following statement.

The following conditions are necessary for 2 fouls to be considered as a double foul:

(a) Both fouls are player’s fouls. (b) Both fouls involve physical contact. (c) Both fouls are between the opponents. (d) Both fouls are committed at approximately the same time.

Example: After a rebound A1 insults B1 verbally and B1 reacts with punching A1 with his fist.

Interpretation: This is not a double foul. A1’s foul is a technical foul and B1’s foul is a disqualifying foul. The game shall be resumed with 1 free throw for team B, followed by 2 free throws for A1 and possession of the ball for team A.

Warning Whistle

This is a NEW procedure that involves ONLY an offensive team throwing a ball from ONLY the Front Court and ONLY on the Endline.

FIBA STATES…

“When a throw-in is taken on the endline in the frontcourt, an active official will blow the whistle before placing the ball at the player’s disposal for the throw-in.“

There was no warning whistle before. We just handed them the ball. This is designed to be a “heads up” whistle in a critical area.

See Next Slide for Steps

Warning Whistle (Cont’d)

STEPS FOR LEAD OFFICIAL

1)Designate the throw-in spot using the “Ass to Glass” concept (Backboard, next is Official, next is Player, next is sideline)

2)Point to the spot and let the player know

3)Wait to ensure thrower-in is at the right spot

4)Blow the whistle before placing the ball at the player’s disposal for the throw-in.

i. Whistle to be Loud and Confident.

5)Wait a half second after blowing the whistle. Don’t rush.

6)Hand the ball to the player for throw-in

REMEMBER: ENDLINE + FRONT COURT = WHISTLE


While the diagram shows a bounce pass, BCBOA would prefer we hand the ball to the player for a throw-in in when

the ball is in the front court, especially for 2 Person Mechanics.


FYI ONLY

STEPS FOR TRAIL OFFICAL

At this time, to be used by CIS Officials only and is a 3 person mechanic …

1)Trail Official is to mirror to Lead with the Start the Clock Signal (Chop in)

2)No whistle

3)Hand Up with the Lead

4)Hand Down with the Lead

No Charge Semi-circle Rule

FYI ONLY

At this time, to be used by CIS Officials only…

The no-charge semi-circle rule shall be applied when the defensive player has one foot or both feet in contact with the no-charge semi-circle area.

The no-charge semi-circle lines are part of the no-charge semi-circle areas.

Before, both feet had to be completely inside the semi-circle.

NEW DIAGRAMS

Shot Clock Reset

FYI ONLY

CABO is NOT introducing the following change to the Shot Clock reset rule this year at any level. It will continue to be a full reset to 24 seconds.

“After the ball has touched the ring of the opponents’ basket, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds, if the team which regains control of the ball is the same team that was in control of the ball before the ball touched the ring.”

Before, it was a full reset to 24 seconds once the ball touched the ring on a shot.

Shot Clock Reset (Cont.)

FYI ONLY

In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 29-34 (page 22) provides the following example.

A1 shoots for a field goal with (a) 4 seconds (b) 20 seconds

remaining on the shot clock. The ball touches the ring, rebounds and A2 gains control of the ball.

Interpretation: In both cases the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds regardless of whether A2 gains control of the ball in the frontcourt or in the backcourt.

CABO Points of Emphasis

Canada Basketball has three points of emphasis that were put forward in 2011.

These points of emphasis are still in effect and officials should be reminded to pay special attention to these areas of the rules.

The three points of emphasis are:

1.Travelling2.Illegal contact, especially on cutters off ball and in post play3.Communication between coaches and officials

Grade 8 Rules / Our Role

Grade 8 boys and girls play under the normal FIBA Rules with High School Modifications PLUS have a few rules and guidelines that are unique to them. Here are rules from last season.

We referee the game as usual and only get involved if a coach mentions that the other team is not playing man-to-man defence, double teaming a player or pressing when down by 20 or more.

We apply a 3 strike system. 1) When you become aware of this, we wait for the next dead ball and let the coach know of the situation. 2) If it happens again, we provide a formal warning to the coach. 3) The next time it occurs, we give the coach a T Foul.

When to Blow the Whistle

Consistency is the hallmark of a good official. As a team, we need to be consistent with all our actions as well. Where we stand, where we move to after a foul or violation, when we blow the whistles, etc. These action are called “Mechanics”.

FIBA has developed 2 and 3 Person Mechanic training information that give clear directions for all officials. However, not all situations were covered. BCBOA created additional instructions for officials when to blow their whistle, etc. Please review and ensure you apply them consistently.

Rule 6 - Fouls

A foul is an infraction of the rules concerning illegal personal contact with an opponent and/or unsportsmanlike behavior.

Any number of fouls may be called against a team. Irrespective of the penalty, each foul shall be charged, entered on the scoresheet against the offender and penalized accordingly.

There are two types of fouls

1. Personal Fouls: involves player contact with an opponent (live or dead ball), but only during playing time.

2. Technical Fouls: all non-contact infractions during playing time and/or all infractions (contact or non-contact) during all Intervals of Play.

103

Rule 6 - Fouls

To correctly call a personal foul, officials need to understand the following concepts…

1. The Cylinder Principle2. The Principle of Verticality3. What is a Legal Guarding Position4. Referee the Defense

104

1. Cylinder Principle

The cylinder principle is defined as the space within an imaginary cylinder occupied by a player on the floor. It includes the space above the player and is limited to:

• The front by the palms of the hands,• The rear by the buttocks, and• The sides by the outer edge of the arms and legs.

The hands and arms may be extended in front of the torso no further than the position of the feet, with the arms bent at the elbows so that the forearms and hands are raised. The distance between his feet will vary according to his height.

107

2. Principle of Verticality

During the game, each player has the right to occupy any position (cylinder) on the playing court not already occupied by an opponent. This principle protects the space on the floor which he occupies and the space above him when he jumps vertically within that space.As soon as the player leaves his vertical position (cylinder) and body contact occurs with an opponent who had already established his own vertical position (cylinder), the player who left his vertical position (cylinder) is responsible for the contact.

Rule 6 - Fouls

108

2. Principle of verticality (con’td)

The defensive player must not be penalized for leaving the floor vertically (within his cylinder) or having his hands and arms extended above him within his own cylinder.

The offensive player, whether on the floor or airborne, shall not cause contact with the defensive player in a legal guarding position

3. Legal Guarding Position

A defensive player has established an initial legal guarding position when:

• He is facing his opponent, and• He has both feet on the floor.

The legal guarding position extends vertically above him (cylinder) from the floor to the ceiling. He may raise his arms and hands above his head or jump vertically but he must maintain them in a vertical position inside the imaginary cylinder. After establishing a legal guarding position, no particular facing is required.
