I see your tag line says you use FIBA. I dont know if that means the game in question was under FIBA also or if it was NFHS.

I'm from europe (Sweden) and only do FIBA games, I have a slight idea of NFHS/NCAA/NBA rules but I don't take any games under those rules.

You may have this already. I do notice that one thing that seems strange to us NFHS officials is that in FIBA the official actually is involved in the choice of the game ball. Frankly, it was interesting reading. In addition, the diagrams show the lead official in what we would call the "quicksand" between the key's lane lines, which is a big NFHS no no. And it says both officials should watch all 10 players. Again, big NFHS no no.

You see now that some of my reading and posting are confusing :P there are some technical diffrences after all.

Avoid penalising incidental contact that does not affect the play, especially when a player drives to the basket and scores. Similarly, do not call an offensive foul because a defensive player puts on a [bold] theatrical display and falls to the floor. [end bold]"

heh, the rules have been changed scince the last update acctually:
"all attempts of theatricaly trying to gain a call should be penalised with a technical foul". So fall to the floor intentionaly (shouting "aaah") and you may end up with a T.

"9. In transition from trail official to lead official, do not turn your head away from the play and look down court, keep your eyes focused on the play and the players at all times by looking over your shoulder."

I didn't see that, I'd better tell other people not to do that too, cause most people arn't aware these manuals exists...
It would be fun with a topic discussing difrences between diffrent rules sets, and officiating tecniwues (NFHS/NCAA/NBA/FIBA), comparing good/bad things, it would be fun to debate this (I would also love to see an NFHS officiating manual, rule book and case book if anyone can give me a link for that.
