NFHS NCAA Rule Differences

[RookieDude]

Giving a presentation Monday...would like to have about 10 good procedure and/or rule differences between High School and College officiated games.

We have a fair amount of College officials in our association, and would like to show some things that could come up during their games.

I will be checking out the "Major Basketball Rules Differences" in the back of the Rule Book...but, any help with your ideas on what differences are important to know is appreciated.

In Girls Basketball, there is no closely guarded during the dribble, nor is there a 10 second in the back court.

Obviously there is no shot clock, unless a state mandates one.

Just some quick ones right there.

Sorry...should have specified...NFHS boys/NCAA mens rules only.

1. Team A scores and then intentionally or flagrantly fouls during Team B's throw-in.
NFHS: Shoot 2FTs and then DESIGNATED-SPOT throw-in.
NCAA: Shoot 2FTs and then endline throw-in.

2. In closely guarded situations, if the defenders switch...
NFHS: the count continues as there is no requirement for the same defender remain guarding the opponent.
NCAA: the count ceases as the defender must remain the same during the entire five seconds.

3. Effect of a bench technical on the coaching box:
NFHS: Any direct or indirect technical foul charged to the head coach result in the loss of the coaching box.
NCAA: Any technical foul will not cause the coach to lose the coaching box.

4. Team control during a throw-in:
NFHS: There is NO team control during a throw-in. Thus a foul by the throwing team prior to the ball being controlled inbounds will not be a team control foul and FTs will be awarded, if warranted by the team foul count.
NCAA: There IS team control during a throw-in and a foul during this time by the throwing team would be a team control foul and NO FTs are awarded.

5. Airborne shooter rule:
NFHS: The airborne shooter can be charged with a player control foul. No basket can be scored, even if the try was released prior to the contact, and no FTs are awarded to the opponent.
NCAA: The airborne shooter is not included in the definition of a player control foul. If the try was released prior to the contact, the the basket counts and the charging foul is penalized by awarded bonus FTs if merited.

6. Indirect Technical fouls:
NFHS: Only the HEAD coach may receive an indirect technical foul and only as the result of another member of the bench personnel being charged with a direct technical foul.
NCAA: There are many indirect technical foul that can be charged to players for various infractions.

7. Team foul count towards the bonus:
NFHS: All Personal and Technical fouls (except an indirect to the Head coach) count in the team foul count towards the opponent reaching the bonus.
NCAA: Many technical fouls do not add to the team foul count.

8. Single Technical foul penalty:
NFHS: Fouls are penalized in the order in which they occurred and a single technical foul will result in the awarding of possession at the division line opposite the table. (This throw-in MUST take place OPPOSITE the table.)
NCAA: Most technical fouls are penalized first and then the game is resumed at the POI. (When possession is awarded at the division line as part of the penalty for a technical foul (such as is the case with a flagrant technical foul), the offended team has the choice of which side of the court to have the throw-in.)

9. End of a period:
NFHS: The HORN signals end the of the period, not the clock showing all zeros.
NCAA: The LED lights coming on ends the period, but the clock showing Zero has the top priority for deciding whether or not a try for goal was released prior to the expiration of time.

10. Player falling OOB requests a time-out:
NFHS: The official shall grant the request.
NCAA: The official shall ignore the request.

11. Player going OOB under his own volition:
NFHS: Immediate violation when the player steps OOB.
NCAA: Only a violation if the player is the first to touch the ball after returning inbounds.

Great job Nevada!
Thanks for taking the time to so neatly list them.

I'll make sure the President of our local Association gives you the credit.

5. Airborne shooter rule:
NFHS: The airborne shooter can be charged with a player control foul. No basket can be scored, even if the try was released prior to the contact, and no FTs are awarded to the opponent.
NCAA: The airborne shooter is not included in the definition of a player control foul. If the try was released prior to the contact, the the basket counts and the charging foul is penalized by awarded bonus FTs if merited.


In the Men's game this is true. In the Women's game same restriction apply as NFHS

[Mark Dexter]

For Nevada's #11, you may want to point out that, if the violation is on the defense, the whistle can be withheld.

Also, Nevada, I know that the NCAA rules state that the technical foul throw-in can be from either side of the court, but what rule gives the offended team the option? I always thought it was up to the officials. (BTW, I've never seen a technical foul throw-in from tableside.)

Also if you look in the back of your rulebook, (NFHS), it tells you some differences in NCAA (men and women) and NFHS rules

Slight edit, Nevadaref. Hope you don't mind.

True, but he only wanted to know NCAA Men's rules differences.

That's a good edit, scrapper. I was just being quick and was too imprecise on that one.
