About the Rules in the USA

[Luis]

Hey pals, I'm a Chinese in-campus college student. And got certificate here under FIBA rules. I was wondering about the rules in the USA, do USA has some different rules in different associations or league? For example, between NCAA & some senior highs. I might fly USA for school later and wanna officiate some games there. Who could offer me some free sites of downloading the rule books, thank you!
By the way, are the non-USA people permitted to get some ref certificate in the States.

Non-US citizens can become referees in the US, Luis. There are 3 main sets of rules in the US. NFHS, which governs our high schools (teenage boys and girls); NCAA, which governs our university teams; and the NBA. The high school rules are not available online, but here are the links for the other two:

NBA: http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_index.html

NCAA: http://www.ncaa.org/library/rules/20...ball_rules.pdf

Good luck with your travels to the US.

Greatly thanks ChuckElias! Yes, I read NBA rules often and briefly read about the NCAA's. And I really hope I could officiate in US if I'll be there soon.

good luck to you.
