Player control

[Oz Referee]

Why would you point your fist toward the offended team's offensive basket? In most cases, that will be the direction in which the offensive player was just moving. Couldn't that be very confusing? It would look like you were signaling the ball to "stay here".

Around here, after giving the PC signal, we indicate that the ball will be going "the other way"; that is, we point toward the offending team's defensive basket. (Or toward the offended team's offensive basket. )

Sorry Chuck, I should have been more specific.

Say player sets an illegal screen, the correct mechanics for calling and reporting the foul would be:

1. Whistle, left arm straight up with clenched fist, right arm pointing roughly at offending player's feet, fingers out, palm down.

2. Signal "block" and then offensive foul (as stated in previous post)

3. Walk to bench.

4. Indicate colour of offending team (verbally and point to bench)

5. Signal number of player (verbally & with hands)

6. Signal block, and then ofensive foul (fist out, parallel to ground, pointing at their offensive basket). At same time say "Team Control".

7. Indicate point of throw in, and say colour of team that gets the ball.

8. Any subs.

9. Any time outs.


Hope this clears it up.
