Lodged ball?

[JRutledge]

It depends on the FT that is being attempted. If it is the first of 2 or 3 FTs, then it is simply a missed shot. You would go the AP on any FT that can be rebounded.

Well then I kicked that one then. I called it a violation. What about a player grabbing the rim at halftime. Is it a T on the player and an indirect to the coach or what? It is so hard to keep up when you are trying to remember three different rulesets. I know in the pros and college it is an indirect to the player which does not add to his foul count nor the team foul count, but I can't remember what it is for HS and I lost my rulebook recently.

So don't keep track of 3 different rulesets!! If you're working NBA, you're not allowed to do anything else, so you don't need college and NF. If you're working college plus NF, just keep track of those two.

in NF the player grabbing the rim during halftime is a T on the player, and an indirect on the coach. If you see it. Perhaps you didn't call it because you were carefully focusing on your aunt Matilda who was waving to you from the stands behind the basket there.

Not true. You are still allowed to work anything you want if you work in the WNBA and the NBA D-League. Don't forget about semi-pro and pro-ams in the summer as well. I have to keep up with these rulesets for now as I work and will be working with all these rules. I hope one day that I will be able to narrow it down to two and then finally down to one, but for now that is how it has to be. Thank you about the dunking during halftime answer as well. I did in fact T up the player but did not seatbelt the coach nor did I tell him that it is an indirect T on him.

Okay, well shows what I know! I guess it's a good thing I only need to know the HS rules, and the local rec league.

Don't take this the wrong way but how can someone be working the d league and/or wnba and NOT know what the ruling is on a wedged ball?

I'll agree that keeping track of the latest T rules every year between ncaa & fed is a pain, which is why I spend 2 or 3 minutes reviewing them during pregame. Maybe you should.

If you work D1 and the D-League and high school (and I know somebody who does this), you probably only work 10 HS games a year to be eligible for the playoffs.

The person who does that is clearly not spending as much time in the HS rulebook as in the other rulesets. Maybe they ought to give up HS in that situation, but that's a personal decision. I can see how it would be fairly easy to think that maybe this is one of those nit-picky rule differences.

I find this disagreeable. If you aren't going to work a full HS schedule, don't work the playoffs. Let the people who are dedicated to the game at the high school level work the high school level. You want to be a D1 ref, go be a D1 ref.

In the pros it is a jump ball between any two players in the game at the center circle.

Ahhh, right, of course...and that led you to decide it's a violation in the HS rules. Right.

Understandable....

Exactly the same as in HS and College rules, a jump ball situation where we use the alternating possession arrow instead.

Are you currently working in both the WNBA and the NBA D-League?
