Jump Stop instruction for refs
 

Does anyone know where I can get a good ref instruction video that demonstrates the legal jump stop and illegal jump stop moves?

Thanks,

If memory serves, the NFHS website had a pretty good video on this for sale. I think we were shown some bits and pieces at our state meeting 5 years ago or so. Someone else may be able to give you a definite answers, but I'd go looking on the NFHS website.

I think I saw this video in a display at Dieblerbuster Video. :p

I never use this move.

I used to use this move until the announcers started calling me for traveling when I lifted my pivot foot. :eek:

in all seriousness, it would be a good idea to put this into words so it may easily be comprehended - it is one of the most often "wrong" called violations.

A better idea would be to get a video clip that would have a demonstration of what is and is not legal with voice over to go along with it. One is probably out there, hopefully someone has on to share.

It would be cool to find or post some YouTube videos to illustrate and discuss situations....

I think Mark stopped using that move before the advent of YouTube.

HEY!!! Dr. Naismith himself showed me that move!

Mark, we know you're not being honest here.

Everyone knows the NCAA made this rule change back in the late 90's to accomodate Jon Diebler. He was entering the big-time 10 and under AAU league sponsored by Nike (they needed some way of show-casing this young man's talent beyond the YMCA) that was using NCAA rules, and he had this move that was incredible. It brought tears to your eyes to see an 8 year old doing it, quite frankly.

Anyway, knowing that if they didn't make a rule change to allow this move Mr. Diebler would skip college and go straight for the NBA, where traveling is never called, the NCAA made the change early enough for their officials to get a grasp of this move.

The rest, as they say, is his(her)tory.
