IAABO Camp: 1. Too many refs deciding which rules they will and will not enforce, i.e. 3 Sec violations. Some refs think it is a sign of a good official not to make this call - IAABO's position: "Call the early 3 Sec violations and be done with it for the remainder of the game". 2. If the airborne shooter is fouled after releasing the shot and one foot (or both) are on the floor the foul is "after the shot". (If basket is good and the offensive team is in the double bonus this could be a 5 point play.) 3. Too many refs are missing the carry when the ball handler goes behind his/her back with the ball. 4. Forget the rubber band etc on the wrist and/or the whistle in your pocket, keep the AP arrow in your head. You are more apt to forget to change the rubber band or the whistle. 5. On OOB plays, fouls by either team before you hand the ball to the player is a dead ball technical foul, fouls after you hand him/her the ball are live ball fouls. 6. Leave your whistle (s) attached to your shirts between game nights.
