Things Officials Should Probably Not Be Saying In A Game

"Don't move”, said to an inbounding player, by an official, before a designated spot throw-in, is another statement that should probably go unsaid. According to the rules, that player can move laterally within a three foot wide area, can jump up, and can move as far back as time, and space, will allow. Better statement: “Designated spot”, while pointing to the spot.

Kinda interesting....

From CCA Mechanics manual:

Section 12
Article 1:

When an official calls a violation:

A. Simultaneously give a single sharp blast of the whistle, stop the clock using straight arm and open hand, then drop whistle from the mouth. More than one blast should be used in unusual situations.

B. Move toward the area of violation, stop, then signal the nature of the violation. Simultaneously call out the color of the team entitled to the ball and point in the direction of their goal. Never turn your back when indicating the direction.

C. Indicate the throw-in spot and inform the player that he/she may not leave the spot.

D. Make eye contact with your partners prior to placing the ball at the player’s disposal for the throw-in or placing it on the floor if the team is not at the spot in time.

E. After boxing in players, hand, bounce or put the ball at the disposal of thrower and begin the visible five second count.
