  23. NFHS Basketball2014-15Points of Emphasis

  24. Announcer Responsibilities • The announcer shall be prohibited from making an announcement: • while the clock is running and • while the clock is stopped and the ball is live…such as during a free throw, a throw in, etc. • Doing so could potentially affect communication between coaches and players or be disconcerting.

  25. Announcer Responsibilities • The announcer shall be prohibited from interrupting the game through the use of the microphone unless there is an emergency. • Announcements or comments shall be made during those times when there is a stoppage of the clock and the ball is not live, such as time outs, between quarters, pre-game, half time and post game.

  26. Announcer Responsibilities • The announcer is allowed to announce basic information that does not potentially affect the play in general, the players, the coaches, or the officials. The announcer’s information is not official information and could be misinformation shared with all. • Appropriate training of announcers by school personnel and proper pre-game instructions by the referee are necessary.

  27. May be Announced - Examples: • Player who scored • Player charged with foul • Player attempting free throw • Team granted a time out • Length of time out: 30 seconds or 60 seconds • Player entering game • Team Rosters

  28. Shall not be Announced – Examples: • Number of points player scored • Number of fouls on player • Number of team fouls • Number of team time outs or number remaining • Time remaining in the quarter/game • Type of foul or violation • Emphatic 2 or 3 point goal

  29. Announcer Responsibilities • The announcer’s role does not include “cheering the home team on” or otherwise inciting the crowd. Doing so is common at other levels of athletic events. But high school athletics is different because sports are educationally based. • In a very real sense, the public address announcer at a high school event is a “Champion of Character”.

  30. Announcer Responsibilities • He/she can influence the atmosphere of the contest by what is said and how it is said. • The announcer who performs professionally promotes good sportsmanship by what he/she says and how he/she acts upon saying it.

  31. Correctable Error: Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in: • Failure to award a merited free throw. • Awarding an unmerited free throw. • Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw. • Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket. • Erroneously counting or cancelling a score.

  32. Correctable Errors Five errors are recognized in the rules book. Officials are granted the power within a certain window of time to make these corrections.

  33. Frontcourt and Backcourt Ball Status: • The status of the ball when considering whether it is in the frontcourt or backcourt is determined by the location of the object that the ball last touched inbounds as long as there is team control inbounds, be it a player, official or the playing court.

  34. Frontcourt and Backcourt Status • The location of a player is determined by where the player is touching the floor or, in the case of the airborne player, where the player was last in contact with the floor.

  35. Ball Status • When an airborne player gains possession of the ball during a throw in or a jump ball, the player is considered to have no status as related to frontcourt or backcourt if he/she (and only that player) returns to the floor possessing the ball. • The location where he/she lands will determine the location of the player and the ball.

  36. Frontcourt and Backcourt Status Until a player gains control of the ball during a throw-in or jump ball, there is no frontcourt or backcourt status. When possession is gained, location of the player determines frontcourt or backcourt status of the ball.

  37. Frontcourt and Backcourt Ball Status: • The ball is considered to remain in the backcourt while a player is dribbling the ball until both feet of that player and the ball have been in contact with the frontcourt.

  38. BackcourtRule 9-9-1 Clarified example of a backcourt violation.

  39. Frontcourt and Backcourt Status In (1), the player with her pivot foot (right foot) in the backcourt can pivot the left foot into the frontcourt and then to the backcourt in (2) without committing a violation. In (3), the player uses her front foot or left foot as her pivot foot and pivots into the frontcourt. However, when she now touches the backcourt in (4), it is a violation.

  40. Frontcourt and Backcourt Ball Status: • It is recommended to review case plays 4-4-1 and 9-9-1, Situations A-E, in the Case Book. • These cases present situations that assist in explaining the status of the ball and player when considering backcourt violations.

  41. Team Control Status During Throw in; Team ControlStatus Inbounds • Since a 2011-12 rule change, team control exists during a throw in when the thrower in has the ball at her/his disposal.  • The change was made ONLY to eliminate the penalty of administering free throw(s) when a teammate of the thrower in commits a common foul during the throw in

  42. Team Conrol Status Inbounds • The change made the penalty consistent with the penalty for other team control fouls. • The penalty now is the awarding of a throw in to the opposing team at the spot out-of-bounds nearest to where the foul occurred.

  43. Team Control Status During Throw in; Team ControlStatus Inbounds NOTE: • Team control during a throw in is not intended to be equated to player control status inbounds which creates team control status inbounds.  • During the throw in, 10-seconds, 3-seconds, frontcourt status, backcourt status, closely guarded, etc. are not factors as there has yet to be player control/team control status obtained inbounds.

  44. Team Control on Throw-In A team is in control of the ball when the ball is at the disposal of the player for the throw-in. The penalty for a common foul committed by the throw-in team is a team-control foul and does not warrant free-throw shots.
