SUMMARY OF OFFICIAL RULE & MECHANIC

CHANGES

(Refresher and New)

Back to Main Page

Time-outs (Refresher)

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.

Technical Foul (Refresher)

If a technical foul is committed:

The opponents shall be awarded 1 free throw 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 (Refresher)

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

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.

Held Ball (Refresher)

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.

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 Value (Refresher)

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:

Act of Shooting - Travel (Refresher)

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.”

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.

Warning Whistle (Refresher)

This procedure 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.“

See Next Slide for Steps

Warning Whistle (New)

STEPS FOR LEAD OFFICIAL

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)Hand the ball to the player for throw-in

REMEMBER: ENDLINE + FRONT COURT = WHISTLE

Score sheet: anyone not listed on the score sheet prior to the start of the game can not be added to the team roster. • However, for high school basketball we must use our

Minimum players: the game is stopped and cannot continue when any team has less than 2 players

The three-point line is part of the 2-point area.Teams shall use the small NCAA rectangle key and not the trapezoid key unless the trapezoid key is the only key available.The front, sides, top and bottom of the backboard shall be considered in-bounds. Only the back of the board and its supports shall be out-of-bounds.The ball may legally pass over the backboard in either direction without penalty.

Jump Ball (Held Ball)

A held ball occurs when one or more players from opposing teams have one or both hands firmly on the ball so that neither player can gain control without undue roughness.

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
