10. WHAT DOES AN OFFICIAL DO? • Rule Enforcement - You are the Police, the Judge and the Jury. You ensure the rules that are set out by the governing bodies are correctly administered. • Exercise Impartial Judgment - Both teams want to win and rely on the official to be impartial. You officiate with no biases and say “no” to an assignment when a conflict of interest exists. • Play Calling - We are paid to make calls. You blow your whistle and make the right call without fear of consequences.

11. WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW? • We are continually developing the four (4) essential components of basketball officiating. • Rule Knowledge • Floor Mechanics • Game Management • Court Presence • What does each components look like…

12. 1. RULE KNOWLEDGE • Read the Rules - FIBA Official Basketball Rules 2014 are available online for free. Make sure you have a hardcopy with you. • Read the CABO Casebook and FIBA Interpretations - In every game, all situations are covered by the rules. It requires years of experience to apply the rules to each situation. To help you, the most common scenarios and interpretations are available online. • Attend Training Sessions - Each local association we hold Education Sessions and go over the Rules and Interpretations. In addition, there are Regional Clinics and Official Camps held throughout the year. • Referee Games - You need to officiate games and learn by your successes and mistakes. You will make plenty and it’s okay. • Ask other Officials

14. 2. FLOOR MECHANICS Simply put, “mechanics” is the term that defines the processes we use from the moment we step on the court to when we leave the court at the end of the game. • Mechanics tell us… • How we stand during free-throw, time-outs, etc. • How and where we move after a violation, foul or time-out, etc • How and when we blow our whistle • What signals we use and when • How and when we speak to Coaches and Players • How to fill out the Scoresheet correctly • Both officials on the court should appear to be “in sync” and “on the same page”.

15. 3. GAME MANAGEMENT • The game is in your hands from the moment you arrive on the court to when the game ends and you sign the scoresheet. • From Start to Finish, the success of the game management is determined on how well you and your partner manage your pre-game, your warm up, your communication with the table officials*, the coaches and players. • Table Official are part of YOUR crew. They are not part of the school when the game is underway. Be respectful and support them. They are… • Shot Clock Operator, Official Timer and Official Scorekeeper • If a game director is present. Say “hello” and involve them is you have to. • For 1 ½ hours, you are the manager of the basketball game.

16. 4. COURT PRESENCE • Blow your whistle loud • Be confident and consistent • Be in charge but not the centre of attention • Dress Sharp. Styling is Important • Be fit, groomed and stand tall • Use your voice • Say “Please” and “Thanks” • Show respect at all times • Smile once in a while • Be professional • Lastly, remember Art 46.13. The Referee shall “Have the power to make decisions on any point not specifically covered by these rules”

18. QUESTIONS?

19. SUMMARY OF FIBA 2014 OFFICIAL RULE CHANGES Impact on KBOA Officials Back to Main Page

20. Time-outs A maximum of 2 time-outs may be granted to a team in the last 2 minutes of the 2nd half. • Note: If the team has NOT used one of their 3 time-outs in the second half by the time of 2:00 on the shot clock, they only get 2 time-outs. Before, they could use their 3 second half time-outs at any time before the game ended in regulation time. Of course, no time-outs can be carry forwarded to extra periods. That is unchanged

21. Technical Foul Penalty • If a technical foul is committed: • The opponents shall be awarded 1 free throw (it was 2 free throws before) followed by: • A throw-in at the centre line extended, opposite the scorer’s table. • Note: • If a technical foul is committed before the start of the game, after the 1 free throw, the game is started by a jump ball. • A technical foul on a player, DOES count as a player foul and a team foul. • A technical foul on a team bench personnel or head coach does NOT count as a player foul or a team foul.

22. Technical Foul - Disqualification • A player shall be disqualified for the remainder of the game when he is charged with 2 (two) technical fouls (“T” Foul). • It was 5 (five) T fouls before. • Notes: • Game Disqualification also applies to a player who is charged with 2 unsportsmanlike fouls (“U” Foul); and, to a head coach who is charged with 2 Coach technical fouls against him personally (“C” Fouls), 3 Bench technical fouls (“B” Fouls), or 1 “C” Foul and 2 “B” Fouls. • This is a Game Disqualification and shall be inscribed into the scoresheet as a “GD”. • Players or coaches disqualified must leave the team bench area and gymnasium. Typically to the change/locker room.

23. Jump Ball (Held Ball) • In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 12-6 (page 6) provides the following example… • “А1 jumps with the ball and is legally blocked by B1. Both players then return to the playing court with both of them having one or both hands firmly on the ball.” • Interpretation: A held ball shall be called. • It was a Travelling before. • Notes: • If the defender (B1) lets go a split second before landing, it is considered a Travelling. This does not change. • If the offensive player (A1) lets go, the defender should have the ball and it is a steal.

24. Goal: When Made and Its Value In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 16 (page 7) provides the following statement. 16-1. “The value of a field goal is defined by the place on the floor from where the shot was released. A goal released from the 2-point field goal area counts 2 points, a goal released from the 3-point field goal area counts 3 points. A goal is credited to the team attacking the opponents’ basket into which the ball has entered.” Before, it counted where it was last touched by a player. If a 3 point attempt was touched by someone in the 2 point area, it was counted as 2 points. Now it is clear. “Where shot was released:

25. Travelling In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 25-5 (page 16) provides the following statement. “If a player is fouled in the act of shooting after which he scores while committing a travel violation the basket does not count and free throws shall be awarded.” Before, if a player drives, starts the act of shooting, is fouled, continues to the basket, shoots, and it goes in…. we counted it. Now, we must ensure that if he travels after being fouled in the act of shooting, the basketball does NOT count. Remember, he is still entitled to his free throws.

26. Double Foul In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 35-3 (page 28) provides the following statement. The following conditions are necessary for 2 fouls to be considered as a double foul: (a) Both fouls are player’s fouls. (b) Both fouls involve physical contact. (c) Both fouls are between the opponents. (d) Both fouls are committed at approximately the same time. Example: After a rebound A1 insults B1 verbally and B1 reacts with punching A1 with his fist. Interpretation: This is not a double foul. A1’s foul is a technical foul and B1’s foul is a disqualifying foul. The game shall be resumed with 1 free throw for team B, followed by 2 free throws for A1 and possession of the ball for team A.

27. Warning Whistle This is a NEW procedure that involves ONLY an offensive team throwing a ball from ONLY the Front Court and ONLY on the Endline. FIBA STATES… “When a throw-in is taken on the endline in the frontcourt, an active official will blow the whistle before placing the ball at the player’s disposal for the throw-in.“ There was no warning whistle before. We just handed them the ball. This is designed to be a “heads up” whistle in a critical area. See Next Slide for Steps

28. Warning Whistle (Cont’d) • STEPS FOR LEAD OFFICIAL • Designate the throw-in spot using the “Ass to Glass” concept (Backboard, next is Official, next is Player, next is sideline) • Point to the spot and let the player know • Wait to ensure thrower-in is at the right spot • Blow the whistle before placing the ball at the player’s disposal for the throw-in. • Whistle to be Loud and Confident. • Wait a half second after blowing the whistle. Don’t rush. • Hand the ball to the player for throw-in • REMEMBER: ENDLINE + FRONT COURT = WHISTLE

29. Warning Whistle (Cont’d) While the diagram shows a bounce pass, BCBOA would prefer we hand the ball to the player for a throw-in in when the ball is in the front court, especially for 2 Person Mechanics.

30. Warning Whistle (Cont’d) FYI ONLY STEPS FOR TRAIL OFFICAL At this time, to be used by CIS Officials only and is a 3 person mechanic … Trail Official is to mirror to Lead with the Start the Clock Signal (Chop in) No whistle Hand Up with the Lead Hand Down with the Lead

31. No Charge Semi-circle Rule FYI ONLY At this time, to be used by CIS Officials only… The no-charge semi-circle rule shall be applied when the defensive player has one foot or both feet in contact with the no-charge semi-circle area. The no-charge semi-circle lines are part of the no-charge semi-circle areas. Before, both feet had to be completely inside the semi-circle. NEW DIAGRAMS

32. Shot Clock Reset FYI ONLY CABO is NOT introducing the following change to the Shot Clock reset rule this year at any level. It will continue to be a full reset to 24 seconds. “After the ball has touched the ring of the opponents’ basket, the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds, if the team which regains control of the ball is the same team that was in control of the ball before the ball touched the ring.” Before, it was a full reset to 24 seconds once the ball touched the ring on a shot.

33. Shot Clock Reset (Cont.) FYI ONLY In the 2014 FIBA Official Interpretation document, Article 29-34 (page 22) provides the following example. A1 shoots for a field goal with (a) 4 seconds (b) 20 seconds remaining on the shot clock. The ball touches the ring, rebounds and A2 gains control of the ball. Interpretation: In both cases the shot clock shall be reset to 14 seconds regardless of whether A2 gains control of the ball in the frontcourt or in the backcourt.
