THREE & TWO OFFICIALS’ MECHANICS

2

Pre-Game Positions U1 observes home team

U2 observes visiting team

Count number of players, check for jewelry, braces, t-shirts, dunking, etc.

R goes to table at 12:00

R will…

Identify official book

Check for legal #s, count players in book, more is OK, less is not

Sign books

Speak with clock/arrow operator

Arrow not switched until thrown in and touched

Always 2 horns on TOs, 15/30, 45/60, and disqualified/injured player subs 15/20

Subs on “X”, hold for 2/3 shot fouls

For correctable error/mistakes hold horn until the first dead ball

Chop of the hand starts the clock

Alert at 7th and 10th team fouls

At halftime switch arrow and get jackets, alert officials at 3 minute mark

Check Ball

At 3:00 U1 & U2 will - Get Captains and Coaches R will read recite/adlib the Sportsmanship Rule, ask coaches re: uniforms R, Ui, U2 go opposite tableside for anthem/intros, U1 takes jackets and gets ball for RU1/U2 report to the block, R takes ball to division line opposite table, at horn assume positions for jump ball

Jump Ball U1 chops clock with left

arm, watches jumpers, calls back poor toss

U2 watches eight non-jumpers

Jumpers must have both feet in each ½ center circle

Prior to toss, non jumpers shall not move onto center circle/change position around center circle

Neither jumper shall: touch the ball before reaching highest point; leave the circle prior to being touched; catch the jump ball; touch it more than twice

These restrictions end when the touched ball contact one of the 8 non jumpers,; the floor; a basket or backboard

R checks arrow for proper setting

U1 & U2 mindful of quick 3-pt attempt and over/back

Jump Ball

R always goes into T position

Ball goes left Ball goes right

Primary Coverage Areas

Both C and T should close down on shots.

Line CoverageLead has entire

end line

C has closest sideline

T has closest sideline, division line, and far end line

Call only your line

Inbounds Coverage

Coverage on Transition

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

Shot & Rebound Coverage

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

Rotation Sequence

L goes to ball-side, T closes down, C completes rotation (last to rotate)

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

Transition Coverage After

Rotation

Throw-In CuesL may administer throw-ins on either

side of player when staying in frontcourt

T handles all throw-ins in the backcourt, regardless of location (“bump and run,” if necessary)

T may bounce any sideline or end line throw-in (may depend on defensive pressure)

End Line Throw-Ins in the Frontcourt

L may administer throw-ins on either side of player when staying in frontcourt

Sideline Throw-Ins in the Backcourt

T handles all throw-ins in the backcourt, regardless of location (“bump and run,” if necessary)

End Line Throw-Ins in the Backcourt

If no pressure, C and L may go to home locations.

Press CoverageC stays

in backct.

L should have deepest player in front and boxed-in

Foul Reporting

Fouls & Basic Switching

Non-calling officials should observe all players

Calling official goes tableside after reporting

Table side official replaces the calling official

Third official maintains their position

If the calling official was the tableside official (center or trail) all officials maintain their positions

On shooting fouls, the official who called the foul will always be the table side trail official

Shooting Foul in the Frontcourt

(To be used in conjunction with magnetic boards during pre game)

L calls foul OTS, goes to TS and becomes new T, C on TS becomes new L, T OTS becomes C

T calls foul OTS, goes to TS and becomes T, C switches OTS and becomes C, L slides over and remains L

C OTS call foul becomes new T, C TS becomes new C OTS, L slides over an remains L

L TS calls foul, stays TS as new T, T TS becomes new L, C OTS remains C

T TS calls foul, everyone remains in positions

Free ThrowsCalling official

always becomes T

L administers all free throws

C and T should close down on last shot attemptNEW RULE in 08-09!! All players move up one marked lane space, leaving the two

spaces closest to the end line vacant. A new mark (2 inches by 8 inches) must be reapplied to the lane near the free-throw line to designate the last 3-foot marked lane space.

28

Time – Outs (TO) Closest official to the ball stays with the ball Full TO - Other two officials position themselves on

the blocks of the respective lanes OTS, facing the table

30 Second TO - Other two officials position themselves at the top of the respective keys, facing the table

During the intermission after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th periods if an overtime exists, the referee will take the ball to the division line OTS. The other two officials will position themselves on the respective blocks of the respective lanes OTS facing the table

Time-Outs

Last Second Shot C has the last shot

L may need to offer assistance or be responsible if on fast break

Center official should communicate with partners that he/she has the last second shot

“Lock Down” @ 30 seconds unless a dead ball mandates a switch of positions, new C will have last shot

L should assist with watching the feet of shooter if last second shot is in three point range

32

Other Important Points

Technical Fouls• Other officials freeze to observe/prevent further unsportsmanlike conduct • Take our time• Inform partners with details• Calling official goes away from table to mid-court for pending throw in throw in (arrow does

not change)• Intentional fouls are throw ins at the spot closest to the foul • Play is resumed from point of interruption after a double technical foul • If the technical foul is a direct or indirect to the coach he/she loses the coaching box

privilegesSpecial Situations• Team control fouls are now a violation with no free throws • Only shoot free throws when there are fouls during jump balls, rebounding, dead ball

situations, or when the ball is in flight for a try for goal • Double Fouls/Double Technical Fouls - play resumes at the point of interruption • Review injured player procedures• Review Screening• Hand checking – advantage/disadvantage • Hard fouls clean up early, talk to players to prevent
