Fun With Switching …

Thanks Camron Rust. The second part of the Oregon system (backcourt) sounds like what we were trying to do, and failed to do, in Connecticut.

I don't understand what is so "long" about this (offensive foul) switch?

It seems no "longer" than the usual switch when the lead calls a defensive foul?

Keep in mind that my mind always defaults to two person mechanics.

In Illinois, we would call this foul, report the foul in the reporting area and switch with the New Trail and become the New Lead. We only long switch when the lead calls a foul (or the other officials are in the half-court set). And they switch to the table side and the lead only comes off the endline if they are on the endline.

IAABO International Play Commentary: Correct Answer: This is a player control foul.

Black #23 receives a pass near the sideline and dribbles into the lane and jumps to try for goal. White #10 obtains a guarding position by placing his torso in the path of the ball handler, with two feet on the floor and facing his opponent. To be considered a legal guarding position, If the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor. (4-23-4) Since White #10 obtained this position before Black #23 jumped to try for goal, it is considered a legal guarding position, and a player control foul was correctly ruled on this play. The Lead official does not have the best angle on the play, but it was the angle that was available in this quick transition play. Officials should use proper foul procedures and get to the proper reporting area when communicating fouls. In this play, the ruling official should continue holding the foul signal and step toward the player who committed the foul. Stop and verbalize the color and number of the player who committed the foul. Verbalize the type of foul and give the appropriate signal. Since it is a player control foul, add the directional signal toward the basket of the team receiving the ball. Then verbalize the type of foul and give the appropriate signal. If player control, add the directional signal toward the basket of the team receiving the ball. The ruling official should end the sequence by indicating the throw-in spot before hustling to the table to report the foul. (IAABO manual p. 68) Officials should report fouls to the official scorer from the approved reporting area. (IAABO manual p. 72)

Here is the breakdown of the IAABO members that commented on the video: This is a player control foul 99% (including me). This is a blocking foul 1%. This is incidental contact and should not have been ruled a foul 1%.

Asked, but no comment on the switch?
