Hey I am a young referee (16 years old) and really love doing it. Just a couple questions that I didnt understand in the rulebook. While reading rule book I came across indirect technical and direct technical. Whats the difference. How do you know which one to call. Also how do you administer a T do you go to the scorer and say T on coach? Also while refing my game last week I think I made the right call but not sure. A1 is in backcourt and passes to A2 in frontcourt but A2 muffed the ball and rolled into the backcourt and A2 got the ball. I called nothing because I thought Team A had to have control in the frontcourt but the parents didnt agree! Did I make the right call? Not sure. Also any advice would be great! Thanks guys.

Basically, an indirect technical is a technical charged to the coach as a result of a technical foul called on one of his/her bench personnel, including players, asst coaches, trainers, etc. 3 indirects or one direct and 1 indirect gets the coach a trip to the locker room. Also can get an indirect T on coach if player dunks in warmups. As far as mechanics in reporting technical, you've basically go it right. You go to the table and give signal for T, say "blue coach, technical foul, unsportsman-like conduct, 2 shots". Tell the coach he has lost the box and must stay seated. Clear the lane, 2 shots, ball at division line. As far as your sitch, I'll let the group discuss as I think there will be some controversy. You did GOOD by not letting the fans influence you. |

Still, many get confused. That's why I, and many others, split the requirement into 2. Memorize these four requirements (and the trhow-in, jump ball, defense excpetions)and you'll get all the BC plays situations correct: 1) Team Control 2) Ball reaches FC 3) Team A last to touch before ball goes to BC 4) Team A first to touch after ball goes to BC As you can see, all four rwequirements were met in your play -- so it should have been a violation. |

So, in the following situation, suppose A1 is bringing the ball up court and crosses into the front court, but is pressured and passes the ball to A2 who has jumped from the backcourt to the frontcourt and catches the ball in the air while in the frontcourt. This is a BC violation, since A2 is still considered to be in the backcourt. Had it happen to me in a game just last night. |

It also applies to in-bounds and out-of-bounds. |
Welcome to the forum and to the ranks of officiating!
Agree with others - what you described is a back court violation. Don't feel bad - I've seen varsity coaches that don't understand this rule. Remember for the next time.... Do you have a case book to go along with your rule book? It does a pretty good job of giving examples thst explain the intricacies of the various rules - including back court violations. |

I hadn't mentioned 2 directs because it didn't involve an indirect and that's what Travis was interested in. Otherwise, I would have mentioned 1 flagrant technical would also get coach kicked. Thanks Chuck, good catch. |
Thanks guys for all the help. And by the way I am using the NFHS rule book.
