I know that all officials have there own philosophy on certain calls, here is one that have been taught to me by a veteran official, player A dribble pass player B.
Player B does a wrap around on player A to knock the ball from behind and do so, but no contact is made from my view. Even though there is no contact this veteran officials say that its chicken **** d-fense and that 90% of the official will never see contact and we should blow the whistle. I know I have let alot of those play go because I see no contact although the player always complain of getting hit when they do the wrap around. I always thought that you can't call what you can't see. Is this a good philosophy? |

*wrap around foul*
HEY, XX__
No, I've had the exact same question this whole year! Why on earth, would you call a foul on a guy that's "already beat,"or "already lost the battle--his guy has gone to the hole, about to score or dish off for that 'mean' dunk?" Why? Yeah, he's playing lazy 'D,' but who cares? So, that's happened while I've played and w/ my partner when I've reff'd. I've debated w/ fellow p's about that call. Some say they call it every time. I strongly disagree, too, XX. Let me know what else you think 'bout it... gl

Modern Myth
'Anything from behind is a foul.' *sigh*
This is a coaching philosophy designed to warn their players to get good defensive position. It is not a rule. The same principle applies to a perfectly clean block (or rebound) from behind where everyone in the gym wants, you guessed it, OVER THE BACK.

Weigh the advantage/disadvantage aspect of the play, and wether or not the player does indeed suffer arm/body contact AND if he/she loses the ball. Quite often this action is one of a desperate/beaten defender and the offense is going toward the basket with a numerical advantage and we take that away in this instance by blowing a foul... |

How about this one:
Player A shoots and Player B goes to block the shot. The whole gym hears a slap of the guys forearm, but the ref says he doesnt see it, so he doesnt call the foul. He says he needs to see it not hear it. The ball clearly changes direction and never reaches the backboard and goes out of bounds. Ref calls the ball out on Player A the shooter. I, not being a ref but being a coach, would think that it is rather obvious that the defensive player hit either the arm or the ball which should have resulted in a foul on Player B or it being out of bounds on Player B. However, the response from the ref is that he didnt "see the contact" of either the ball or the arm. What is the right call here? |

On any call, an official is not supposed to guess. If you don't actually see where the slap landed, then all you have is just a guess as to whether a foul occurred or not. The easy way out, for an official, is to just call the foul. That keeps the coach and fans happy, even though they don't know the rule. Good officials don't worry about this, though. They wanna get the call right. And the right call isn't gonna be made by guessing. [Edited by Jurassic Referee on Mar 6th, 2004 at 06:38 AM] |
