2005-06 NFHS BASKETBALL RULES CHANGES MAJOR EDITORIAL CHANGES POINTS OF EMPHASIS MAJOR MANUAL CHANGES
Meeting Agenda • Welcome • IHSA Up-date • Rules Changes • Major Editorial Changes • Points of Emphasis • Post-Season Availability
IHSA Up-date Mercy Rule Event Sanctioning Class Expansion Sportsmanship
Mercy Rule • Per Board action: • Will be used only in regular season tournaments prior to February 1, 2006, that choose to do so • Tournaments need to communicate their intentions to competing teams/officials • Tournaments are NOT required to notify IHSA
Mercy Rule • 30 point differential in score • 4th quarter only • Clock stops only on: • Requested T.O. • Injury/Any situation of concern to an official • Administration of technical foul • Correctable error situation • Replace a disqualified player
Event Sanctioning • The IHSA Board of Directors has modified its Event Sanctioning Policy, bringing it in line with the policy of the NFHS. • Schools are strongly encouraged to review the policy to ensure their schedule is in compliance. • Schools with questions should contact the IHSA Office. • Approved events can be accessed through the NFHS web site (www.nfhs.org)
Event Sanctioning • The biggest change requires that events which are sponsored or co-sponsored by an organization outside the school community MUST be sanctioned. • This would include organizations like: • Theme parks • Grocery Store Chains • Shoe Companies
Class Expansion • At the direction of the IHSA Board of Directors, the IHSA staff is examining the issue of class expansion in team sports like Basketball. • Information will be presented to member schools during this school term. • It is expected that an Advisory Referendum on class expansion will be held later this school term.
Sportsmanship • Sportsmanship continues to be a high priority for the IHSA. • Officials need to make this an important part of the pre-game coaches/captains meeting. • Coaches need to set the proper example for players and fans during every contest. • Administrators need to address the negative behavior by the fans at all contests, regardless of the contest’s site.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS • Fan behavior remains a critical concern. • Too often, fans are using abusive language toward coaches, players and officials. • Fans are also approaching the court, team areas and locker rooms – places that used to be “off limits” – to confront participants.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS Game administrators: • Provide a safe environment for players, coaches and officials. • Create and follow security procedures. • Support efforts to have offending fans removed from the premises. • Address problems before the official must point them out.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS Coaches: • Must not incite fan behavior – sideline actions often have an impact on fan behavior – positively or negatively.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS Officials: • Never directly confront fans. • Find the game administrator to take care of the problem. • In extreme cases, delay the game until the offending fan is removed. • If a game administrator is not present, the head coach serves in this capacity.

JERSEYS PROHIBITED FROM BEING REMOVED (3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1h) • Team member prohibited from removing jersey within confines of playing area. • Penalty is a technical foul. • Intended to be applied in all situations – • due to blood • other unusual circumstances
JERSEYS PROHIBITED FROM BEING REMOVED (3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1h) • Not unreasonable to expect team members to go to locker rooms to change jerseys. • Addition addresses growing behavioral concern of players removing jerseys to – • demonstrate frustration or anger • attract individual attention
SPORTING BEHAVIOR - UNIFORMS • Jerseys become untucked during play, but too often there are multiple warnings for clear violations. • Coaches bear a great responsibility in ensuring uniforms stay on team members. • Officials must enforce the rules as written. • Directing a player to leave early in the game typically solves the problem and saves multiple warnings later.
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (4-12-2) • By rule, a team is in control of the ball when: • A player of the team is in control of the ball. • A live ball is being passed among teammates. • During an interrupted dribble
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (4-12-3) • Team Control continues until: • The ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal • An opponent secures control • The ball becomes dead

2005-06 NFHS BASKETBALL POINTS OF EMPHASIS
SPORTING BEHAVIOR • The NFHS Basketball Rules Committee continues to be concerned with player, coach and fan behavior. • Imperative that all parties involved accept responsibility and improve behavior. • Specifically, the committee wants the following addressed:
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Rule is black-and-white, but has not been dealt with properly. • Many officials ignore the rule because coaches are not “directing comments” to officials or are “just coaching the team.” • These situations should have no bearing on addressing the behavior.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Coaches must stay in the coaching box. • Wandering coaches create problems: • Distinct advantage gained by ability to better communicate with team. • Interferes with play. • Distracting to players and officials. • Perceived as an intimidation tactic toward officials and table personnel. • Can incite inappropriate player, bench and spectator behaviors.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Coach isOUTof box “just coaching”: • FIRST offense – assess warning to coach; warning reported to scorer’s table by calling official. • NEXT offense – technical foul assessed. • Coach isINorOUTof box behaving inappropriately (10-4): • FIRST offense – technical foul assessed.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Once coaching box is lost due to technical foul, all related rules restrictions apply. • Once privilege is lost, there is no way to get the coaching box back.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Assistant coaches doNOThave same privileges as the head coach. • Only the head coach is permitted to address officials. • The fact that an assistant coach is “only coaching” has no bearing on the rule or enforcement.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Assistant coaches must be seated at ALL times, except: • during time-outs or intermissions • to attend to an injured player after being beckoned • to spontaneously react to a play
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Assistant coach is standing, “just coaching”: • FIRST offense – address behavior by warning thehead coach. • NEXT offense – assess a technical foul on the assistant coach (indirect to head coach, loss of coaching box). • Assistant coach is behaving inappropriately, standing or sitting: • FIRST offense – assess a technical foul.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX • Coacheswho continually abuse the coaching-box rule risk having the state change or remove the box completely. • Officialswho don’t enforce the coaching-box rule risk not following the expectations of the state and having future assignments affected. • School administratorsmust demand that coaches adhere to this rule.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – TIME-OUTS • Situation can lead to bumping, pushing and/or taunting. • Coaches must ensure bench personnel remain in team bench area (1-13-3) after time-out is called. • Officials must be aware of potential for confrontation – use preventive officiating techniques and penalize appropriately.
