It is required, under NFHS mechanics, that you visibly count 10 seconds in the backcourt. It is required, under NFHS mechanics, to not blow the whistle before a throw-in except following a time-out, intermission, or unusual delay. It is not required (or prohibited), under NFHS mechanics, to signal the direction for each team prior to the jump ball. |

I am not suggesting either that we should have add a procedure for this. I am just saying people will continue to do it or not do it for their own reasons. Peace |

Not thought a bout the whistle after to and start with free throws but.....I believe I sound it as well. Been a long time since it happened I guess.

I can't speak for anybody, but I think the main point of one or more of the comments was that they were looking for what the right thing to do in high school is and they don't really care what happens in higher level basketball. They weren't discounting the leaders of the profession. Someone also made the comment that they don't like the multiple whistles (aka "notice me" calls) on obvious calls they see on TV. I tend to agree with them. Some of the "leaders" of the profession are looking to grab as much attention as possible. I like the leaders that blend in and do a great job. I'm not going to discount the leaders in the officiating profession and I am thankful for the information and guidance given by some on this board. On the flip side, just because you see it on TV doesn't necessarily mean it's the right or only way to do it. |

I point and I do it because I think the high school level players are getting dumber. I'm not sure they know which way they are going. Coming out of time outs, 9 out of 10 times, most teams don't even know who's ball it is. I point to not have the teams start with a mess. If I was told to not do it, I would have no problem stopping. |
I let the players assume their positions, and as I'm walking to the center I check with partners to make sure they are good to go, check with table to make sure they are ready to go, say "here we go", blow the whistle, bounce once, and toss. Pointing seems hokey to me.

What's the point in pointing?

Sounds like the kids in your areas are a little smarter and don't need the reminder. Honestly, I could probably get away with not doing it, but I know I have had more than one occasion where the teams didn't know prior to me pointing. |
This years IAABO disc has a jump ball segement where Tom Lopes says the referee checks off with their partners and indicates direction of play.
But unlike the other plays he points out the officials mistakes, he passes no comment on it. It's weird sitting a room with officials who are getting dinged and praised on the same videos though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |
