Hey Ohio Guys.....
The following was passed along from our rules interp. Posted here for your reading pleasure.
===================
Just a few items I feel should be forwarded to basketball officials as a result of an OHSAA Rules Interpreter meeting I attended yesterday in Columbus.
The OHSAA has emphatically endorsed an aggressive approach to rules enforcement by officials.
The OHSAA has a high expectation for officials to:
Make calls
Enforce the "coaching box"
Enforce the pre-game warm-up rules for both teams and individuals
Enforce the uniform rule as it pertains to sporting behavior
Enforce the rules pertaining to "taunting"
These items will be addressed in further detail at the local association meetings, but be aware that OHSAA is stressing these "sportsmanlike behavior" items.
Along that line, OHSAA will be implementing procedures to have officiating observers at games throughout the state in order to assure that calls are made as warranted.
