SITUATION: A4 is driving down the lane on a try for a goal. A4 leaves the floor to release the ball and crashes into B4 before returning to the floor. B4 was in the proper guarding position before A4 went airborne. B4 put his/her arms in front of his/her chest in a recoil position to absorb the contact and turned his/her body slightly to avoid taking the contact straight in the torso. RULING: Player-control foul on A4. COMMENT: Once a defensive player establishes proper position, he/she may turn to avoid straight on contact in an attempt to lessen the blow from the collision. SITUATION: A5 goes airborne to attempt a field goal try. He/she releases the ball and then crashes into B5 before returning to the floor. B5 moved into the landing area before A5 went airborne. The try is successful. RULING: No basket, player-control foul on A5. COMMENT: Good anticipation by B5. He/she moved into the path of A5 and established a proper defensive position before A5 went airborne. Even though the ball was released before the contact ensued, the score cannot count and it is a player control foul. SITUATION: A2 sets a screen for A1 on the side of B1. B1 pushes A2 with a forearm in an effort to stay with A1. RULING: Foul on B1. COMMENT: A2 was in the visual field of B1. B1 should have avoided contact with A2. SITUATION: A3 sets a screen behind B2. B2 takes 1 and ½ normal steps and collides with A3. A3 is knocked backward a short distance with the initial contact but after the initial contact B2 pushes right through A3 to continue guarding his opponent. RULING: Foul on B2. COMMENT: If B2 would have moved to the right or left of A3 after the initial contact, the play would have been legal and no foul would have occurred as long as the initial contact was incidental since the screen was not in the visual view of B2. SITUATION: A4 sets a screen for A3 at the side of B3. B3 sees the screen and tries to move around A4. A4 throws his/her hip to the left as B3 is moving around him/her and contacts B3. RULING: Team-control foul on A4. COMMENT: The screener must be stationary and his/her body must remain in his/her vertical plane. Moving the hip or extending the arms or elbows beyond the vertical plane is a foul if there is contact. SITUATION: A5 is dribbling the ball from his/her backcourt and is being closely guarded by B5. A4 moves in the path of B5 to set a screen more than two steps behind the visual field of B5. A4 is stationary and has his/her arms on his/her chest with the elbows protruding beyond his/her vertical plane. B5 collides hard with A4’s elbow and falls to the floor. RULING: Team-control foul on A4. COMMENT: Arms and elbows must be within the vertical plane of the screener and must be used in a fashion to absorb the collision only. They cannot be used to inflict pain on the player being screened by extending them beyond the vertical plane or thrusting them forward on the player being screened. SITUATION: A1 rebounds off the opponent’s basket and comes down with the ball swinging his arms and elbows violently with opponents near him/her. He/she contacts one opponent across the chest very hard. RULING: Intentional foul on A1. COMMENT: Excessive swinging of arms and elbows is a violation if no contact is made. However, if contact is made, it has to be at least an intentional foul. It may be a flagrant foul, but it has to be at least an intentional foul. SITUATION: PLAYING WITH 5 PLAYERS. Team A has very few players to field a Varsity and JV team. The Varsity players are on a strict quarter limit. Team A puts at least four varsity players in the JV book, and have each one play one quarter; that way they still have all four quarters for the varsity game. For the last quarter of the game, the varsity players that have played one quarter go to the locker room to get ready for the varsity game. Team A has no players sitting on the bench during the last quarter of the JV game. With 2:13 left in the fourth quarter of the game, Team A was winning 33–27 when a Team A player fouled out. Team A had no one on the bench and told the refs they would finish with four. The officials would not let Team A finish with 4 players and said since players’ names were still in the book, Team A had to use them, which meant pulling them out of the locker room. Team A refused to put them in the game and the varsity coach came out and explained those players need those quarters so they can be eligible for the whole varsity game. The officials said if Team A refuses, they would be assessed a technical foul; if they refuse again, they’ll assess another T, and the coach is ejected. Then after
another refusal, Team A would have to forfeit. What is the ruling on this? Answer: Most officials would never encounter this situation, so this is why confusion would occur. Team A should have been permitted to continue with four players. Rule 3–1-1 Note applies when you have fewer than five players. Rule 4–34- 4 applies specifically to who is eligible to play. It states, “A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player.” When the team members were removed from the gym they were no longer bench personnel and as such could not be compelled to reenter the game. Had one or more been seated on the bench when a player was DQ’d then one of them WOULD be required to reenter the JV game. SITUATION: TIMING AND SUBSTITUITON: With are 18 seconds to go in a one point game, one official is administering the throw in and puts the ball at the disposal of A1. The timer then sounds the horn for a sub, but the official does not let the sub in the game. A1 then passes the ball to A2 in their back court. The official chopped the clock for it to start, but the timer never starts it. The player starts dribbling up court and has the ball stolen by B1 who scores and they go up one. The head coach of team A says the clocks never started, and believes the officials should have stopped the game and run time off the clock and give them the ball back. What is the procedure to follow to correct this situation? There are several parts to this scenario: The official was correct to ignore the horn since the ball was already at the disposal of the thrower-in. However, if the throw-in had just started, sometimes it is just easier to stop the throw in and bring in the sub to prevent what did ultimately occur, but again, ignoring the horn is technically correct. Next, to address the issue of failing to start the clock, in this scenerio, there is no provision to correct the timing error as it appears that no official had definite knowledge to the amount of time that had elapsed. There is also no provision for a “do-over”. Therefore, the steal and score by B is allowed and presumably there are still 18 seconds to play. Now what do the officials do when they notice the clock is not running? They could stop the game and if they have knowledge to correct the time, that is ok. In this case they might stop play after B scored, since the ball was dead, to sort everything out, even though there would be no correction to the timing. III. Please take time as a group to review and discuss the following information concerning 6 Things You Never Say to a Coach from the 2012 October Referee Magazine: You will say all kinds of things when you’re having a conversation, conference, discussion, talk, debate or heated exchange with a coach. But are there some comments that should never come out of your mouth? Referee asked subscribers in a recent “Your Call” survey what not to say. Some things are an obvious no-no, such as foul language. Here are some of the other things your peers suggested are off limits. If you’re currently using any of the following in your “conversations” with coaches, you might want to “eject” them from your dialogue. 1. “One more word and you’re out of here!” It’s the classic overused phrase that needs to go away. And you can toss any other useless threats from your coach interaction vocabulary as well. What happens if the coach comes back with a compliment just to test you, or comes back with “word”? Are you prepared to eject the coach for that? Probably not. That’s why “one more word” is worthless at best, and adding fuel to the fire at worst. Don’t commit yourself to an action. It’s a nowin situation. 2. “Shut up.” Now that’s an example of adding more gasoline. It’s antagonistic and unprofessional. Coaches should be allowed to have their say. If they cross the line and say something that warrants a reaction, use your tools within the rules--such as a technical foul, penalty or ejection — to “shut up” the coach. That’s the professional approach. That should be your approach. 3. “You’re wrong!” If you don’t tell a coach he or she is wrong, that doesn’t mean you don’t think or know, in some cases, that the coach is wrong. It simply means you don’t say it, because it won’t lead to a positive result. Suggesting the coach is “right” all the time isn’t the answer either. Explaining what happened on a play or why you called what you called will let the coach know he or she is wrong (or right) without saying it. Sometimes telling the coach, “That’s not what I saw,” or “I’ll check the play after the game” serves to mitigate the situation and allows both parties to move on.
