game for any one of four delay situations

MAJOR EDITORIAL CHANGES

in control gets head and shoulders past defensive player
Defender no longer in guarding position
UNSPORTING FOUL (4-19-14)

All inappropriate acts should now be covered by expanded definition
PLAYER VS BENCH PERSONNEL CLARIFIED
(4-34-1, 2) Clarification needed to properly
penalize head coach when technical foul is called on bench personnel

2006-07 NFHS BASKETBALL
POINTS OF EMPHASIS
Point of Emphasis for 2006-07Proper Procedures for
Handling Apparent Concussions
Action Plan
If you suspect that a player has a concussion, you should take the following steps:
1. Remove athlete from play.2. Ensure athlete is evaluated by an appropriate health
care professional. Do not try to judge the seriousness of the injury yourself.
3. Inform athlete’s parents or guardians about the known or possible concussion and give them the fact sheet on concussion.
4. Allow the athlete to return to play only with permission from an appropriate health care professional.

30-SECOND TIME-OUTS
30-second time-out length increasingly being improperly extended
Prime examples include: Cleaning up spilled water Putting chairs/stools back in place Cheerleaders or other on-court
entertainment Players should hydrate near team
benches and off playing surface
30-SECOND TIME-OUTS
Officials shall indicate to the benches when the warning signal has sounded
Coaches should immediately prepare players to return to the floor
The game should promptly resume when the second horn is sounded
30-SECOND TIME-OUTS If a team does not have the court ready
for play following any time-out, a team warning for delay shall be issued
If the court is ready, but the players are delaying, the resumption of play procedure should be followed
Cheerleaders or other on-court entertainment are not permitted on the court during a 30-second time-out (5-11-2)
GRANTING TIME-OUTS
Coaches attempting to call a time-out during playing action are a continuing problem
When player control is lost, officials must concentrate on playing action while attempting to determine if a time-out should be granted
GRANTING TIME-OUTS
A request for a time-out does not guarantee that a time-out will be granted
Player control must be clearly established
Officials should not grant a time-out until player control is obvious
UNIFORMS
Committee still concerned with use of uniforms in unsporting ways
Marked improvement last year, but still need to enforce proper wearing of uniform
Jerseys must be tucked in and shorts pulled up above the hips
New – guidelines established for wearing headbands and sweatbands
UNIFORMS - UNDERSHIRTS
Increase in illegal undershirts being worn
If visible, the undershirt… Shall be similar in color to the torso of the
jersey Shall be hemmed and not have frayed or
ragged edges Sleeves must be the same length
Visible markings are NOT permitted manufacturer’s logo/trademark/reference school’s mascot/logo
UNIFORMS – COMPRESSION
SLEEVES Increase in players wearing sleeves
for various reasons Legal – Compression sleeves worn for
medical reasons Illegal – Decorative sleeves made of
cotton or other non-supportive materials
INTENTIONAL FOULS
May be personal or technical foul Neutralizes opponent's obvious
advantageous position May or may not be premeditated Not based solely on the severity of
the act Excessive contact with an opponent
even while playing the ball
INTENTIONAL FOULS
Contact specifically designed to stop or keep the clock from starting Away from the ball When not making a legitimate attempt
to play the ball or player
INTENTIONAL FOULS
Fouling late in the game is an accepted coaching strategy
There is a right way and a wrong way to foul
Coaches must instruct players in proper technique for strategic fouling
"Going for the ball" must be done properly
PROPER USE OF SIGNALS
Movement away from consistent use of approved mechanics/signals
Officials’ signals are a means of communicating to scorers, players, coaches, spectators and media
Deviation from approved NFHS signals is unacceptable
RULES ENFORCEMENT Closely Guarded –
Officials must properly judge the six-foot distance and begin a closely-guarded count when a defender obtains a legal guarding position
Failure to properly judge the six-foot distance gives the offensive player an unfair advantage
RULES ENFORCEMENT Throw-ins –
Adhere to designated spot throw-in locations – don’t get lazy
Be aware of offensive and defensive players breaking the throw-in boundary plane and administer proper penalties
After a made basket, begin the throw in count when the ball is at the disposal of the player
RULES ENFORCEMENT Coaching Box –
In states that authorize the use of the optional coaching box, the head coach is the only person on the bench that is permitted to stand and must remain in the coaching box
All other bench personnel must remain seated at all times except: a team member reporting to the scorer’s
table during time-outs or intermissions to spontaneously react to a play
Official’s Uniform
• Smitty vs. Lanyard– State Association no longer mandates
the smitty.– Local Association will dictate what is
accepted– State Playoffs—ALL OFFICIALS MUST
WEAR THE SAME! HAVE BOTH WITH YOU!
State Championships
• Review currently underway evaluating the percentage/rotation plan used that includes all Associations.
• State Championship—must “sit” one (1) year.
• Regionals—eligible next year if don’t get a State Championship assignment
Primary Coverage Areas
Both C and T should close down on shots.
Shot & Rebound Coverage
Lead should not be positioned within lane lines
Both C and T should close down on shots
C is primarily responsible for weak side rebounding
Three-Point Shot Coverage
If both C and T indicate the 3-pt attempt, T should referee the defense on the shooter and stay with the shot; C should release and cover rebounding
C/T should mirror the other official’s “good” signal
Shot & Rebound Coverage
Rotation CuesL dictates rotation (don’t stay in lane)
Better to have two C’s than two T’s (this is why C is last to rotate)
L must officiate play in the post, even while moving across the lane
If the L begins to rotate and the ball is quickly reversed or a quick shot is taken, the L does not have to complete the rotation
Press Coverage
C stays in backcourt
L should have deepest player in front and boxed-in
Free Throws
Calling official becomes T
L administers all free throws
C and T should close down on last shot attempt
Dealing with Coaches• #1 complaint I get is consistency, not in calls, but how officials treat/interact
with coaches differently from Tuesday night to Friday night.• DO NOT let your emotional level match the emotional intensity of the coach.• Coaches are allowed to coach the players—not coach the officials!• Coaches who question calls are taking their chances. A courteous reminder
of:– “I’ll give it a look Coach” OR “That’s enough Coach” generally will suffice.
• Officials should not allow bench personnel, INCLUDING assistant coaches, to badger them. Hold the head coach responsible for monitoring his/her bench.
• When coaches are calm and professional in their approach, listen AND acknowledge them SO THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN HEARD!
• When coaches become overly irate and unsporting, they are not displaying proper conduct and need to be penalized.
• Deal with inappropriate behavior early in the game with a warning.• RESPECT THE COACH—POSITIVE COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
COMMUNICATION POINTS
• PEACEKEEPERS—ASK THE COACH TO STOP USING DEMONSTRATION(S) AND “TALK TO ME”. PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK OR AT YOUR SIDES…DEMONSTRATES YOU’RE RECEPTIVE.
• BODY LANGUAGE—HOW YOU APPROACH THE COACH IS CRITICAL. LET HIM KNOW YOU’LL LISTEN. “COACH, IF IT HAPPENED THE WAY YOU SAID IT DID, I GOT IT WRONG.” This works because you are not admitting a mistake, putting up a defense or ignoring the coach completely.
• Eye Contact—HEAR THEM OUT. “YES SIR/NO SIR”…TRY YOUR BEST TO REMAIN PROFESSIONAL. COACHES HAVE BEEN AROUND, AND IF YOU DON’T ANSWER THEIR QUESTION, THEY’LL FIGURE OUT ANOTHER WAY TO ASK IT.
COMMUNICATION POINTS
• YOU CAN’T RESPOND ALL THE TIME. GIVE A SOLID ANSWER OR INDICATE YOU’VE HEARD WHAT HE/SHE SAID.
• SOMETIMES THIS WORKS…IT’S A JUDGMENT CALL. JUST LET THEM KNOW YOU’VE HEARD THEIR POINT!
• IF THE PLAY IS MOVING QUICKLY, YOU MUST SAY, “I’LL GET BACK WITH YOU COACH”.
• IF THE CONVERSATION IS ABOUT YOUR PARTNER SAY, “YOU’LL NEED TO DISCUSS THAT WITH MR./MS. ______________ WHEN HE/SHE GETS OVER HERE.”
• GIVE COACHES A COURTESY, TREAT PROFESSIONALLY, AND REMEMBER…TAKE THE HIGH ROAD, THERE WILL BE LESS TRAFFIC!
