Turned on my local cable access channel this morning when I woke up and they had a show on about basketball officials. They had three guys on there one has 25 years experience and is a double AA official, another guy and the last guy was just going the lower to levels of Varsity (S+M) but hoping to move up. Anyhow the hosts were asking them questions about calling the game and what are the biggest misconceptions about the game of basketball. The offical with 25 years experience talked about three seconds, and his view of three seconds is that he doesnt care if a player is in there for 15 secs, unless the ball is passed into that player, he will never call it, because there is no advantage. Just wondering if you call the game the same way. He also mentioned about not officaliting tbe rule book, you officiate the game and make calls based on that particular game not on the rule book. I look forward to hearing your responses. Also I enjoyed the post where a coach brought in an official to talk to his players and parents, I would like to do that for next year, any suggestions on how to get in touch with an official to set this up, thanks your for your knowledge and responses.
