Missed Both Free Throws ...
Quote:
One memorable announcement that stuck in my mind, "How can she (visiting player) miss such an easy layup?".

Yada, Yada, Yada ...
While it may be true that most NFHS Points of Emphasis are no more than, "Yada. Yada. Yada", some, over the years, have been beneficial: Acknowledging And Granting Timeouts, Protecting The Free Thrower, Hand Checking, and Contact Above The Shoulders (maybe the best one). I am of the opinion that many of these Points should be permanently etched as rules in the NFHS Rulebook, for all, especially new officials, to study.

Bottom line, call more PC fouls and amazingly players either pass the ball or pull up for a jumper. You do not need a rule or an area to prevent this from happening. Actually, you might cause more problems and inconsistency. Call more PC fouls and penalizing defenders that do nothing wrong. Problem solved.
Peace

I haven't seen many people post about changing the bonus rules. This is surprising, because it is at least the 2nd straight year that changes to the bonus rules appear in the questionnaire. |

Conveniently, you don't mention the fact that 48 other states have not found it necessary to go against the NFHS on this (and 42 states on the shot clock matter). Why do those 2 (8 for shot clock) states have it right? I don't really care about resetting fouls each quarter and getting rid of 1-and-1. However, everyone I know in NCAA-W loves it. |

Unfortunately, none of the twelve guys that officiate basketball in Northern Dakota post regularly on the Forum. All twelve still have "Dial-Up" internet.

Have you ever considered that you are in the minority regarding this? Or maybe officials just don't care one way or the other. Or have you ever considered there are a lot of veteran officials in this forum who have seen all kinds of rule change proposals that never panned out or came to fruition and simply just don't care what is implemented, just that everything is clearly spelled out by the time preseason clinics start.

The State of Illinois has had again this year another player that was in the Final Four that had played high school ball from here. That was the case the last two years that the title game had a team with a player from the IHSA. If my state is not clamoring for all these college rules and the players are functioning at a higher level, I am not convinced we need to change rules just to prepare someone for college. Quote:

The game, as called in this area, is dramatically different than what you see on nationally televised NCAA games (tourney included). It is much more physical, in general, and things that are almost always called a foul at the NCAA D1 level are criticized here if you call them.

The home announcer going nuts when their team was making a comeback with several 3s in a row made for great atmosphere. Now, the announcer announces the starting lineups at the beginning of the game and the 50/50 ticket at some point in the third quarter. No announcements of baskets/fouls/timeouts. Nothing. I've been to several schools in my little corner of Ohio and they all do this. |

Points of Emphasis ...
Quote:
How is a new official supposed to know about such when there is no mention of such in the current rulebook? By an oral tradition of old, grizzled, veteran officials sitting around a campfire telling scary stories about old Points of Emphasis to young'uns? This NFHS issue has always perplexed me. Same issues with annual interpretations that don't make their way into the current casebook, or with casebook plays that drop out of the current casebook for no apparent rational, or publicized reason. Why hasn't the NFHS realized that the Mesopotamians invented written language over 5000 years ago and that Gutenberg invented the movable type printing press in fifteenth century? These were good inventions, the NFHS should use them. Stupid NFHS.

Announcers ...
Quote:
"Nothing" at all about baskets/fouls/timeouts was not the intent of the NFHS guidelines. That's on the State of Ohio, the leagues/conferences, or the individual schools. For those young'uns who became officials after 2014-15, here's the Point of Emphasis and the followup explanation by the NFHS. In my opinion, the NFHS went too far with their guidelines. They had to do something to stop the over-excited, cheerleader, play by play, carnival barker announcers (as in many summer pro-am games), but they threw out the baby with the bathwater with these guidelines. 2014-15 POINT OF EMPHASIS Announcer Responsibilities. The announcer shall be prohibited from making an announcement while the clock is running and while the clock is stopped and the ball is live…such as during a free throw, a throw-in, etc. Doing so could potentially affect communication of coaches or players, or could be disconcerting. • The announcer shall be prohibited from interrupting the game through the use of the microphone unless there is an emergency. • Announcements or comments shall be made during those times when there is a stoppage of the clock and the ball is not live, such as time-outs, between quarters, pre-game, half time and post-game. • The announcer is allowed to announce basic information that does not potentially affect the play in general, the players, the coaches or the officials. The announcer’s information is not official information and could be misinformation shared with all. • Appropriate training of announcers by school personnel and proper pregame instruction by the referee are necessary. May be Announced - Examples: • Player who scored • Player charged with foul • Player attempting free throw • Team granted a time-out • Length of time-out: 30 seconds or 60 seconds • Player entering game • Team rosters Shall not be Announced – Examples • Number of points player scored • Number of fouls on player • Number of team fouls • Number of team time-outs or number remaining • Time remaining in the quarter/game • Type of foul or violation • Emphatic two-point or three-point field goal The announcer’s role does not include “cheering the home team on” or otherwise inciting the crowd. Doing so is common at other levels of athletic events, but high school athletics is different because sports are educationally based. In a very real sense, the public-address announcer at a high school event is a “Champion of Character.” He/she can influence the atmosphere of the contest by what is said and how it is said. The announcer who performs professionally promotes good sportsmanship by what he/she says and how he/she acts upon saying it. The National Federation has issued new guidelines regarding game announcers. While the game is in progress, announcers may give basic information such as who scores, who fouls and how many fouls that is on a player, who is shooting free throws and how many free throws, which team is awarded a time out and whether the time out is a full time out or a 30 second time out, which substitute is entering the game and which player is being replaced. Announcers should not announce things such as "How much time there is left in a period" or "How many time outs a team has left." Also, announcements pertaining to raffles, 50-50 drawings, concession stands, future schedules, etc. - in other words, all those things that are not directly related to the game should only be announced prior to the game, during time outs, intermission, between periods, and after the game. What they want eliminated are the "carnival barkers" that tend to distract from the actual game and those announcements that would tend to give information that is the responsibility of the teams and coaches (i.e.: how much time is left or how many time outs a team has remaining.). There is no penalty involved. Announcers should be handled the same as scorekeepers and timers who are not in compliance with the spirit of the game. This information should be covered with the announcer at the table prior to the game.
