Jump ball call
I think the length of time you wait to blow a jump is highly dependent on the level of game play and flow of the game in question. Middle School game with 30 jump balls = hold the whistle a little longer. Frosh girl with 15 jumps = let them play a little, but not as much as middle school. At higher levels with bigger and stronger players, letting the players fight for a ball that is held is inviting conflict between the players. How many fights/verbal spats/staredowns/etc. happen after loose ball/held ball situations. Quite a few. A quicker whistle for the held ball can defuse some of the emotion here.

You should give a jump when ... "Opponents have their hands so firmly on the ball that control cannot be obtained without undue roughness." (NHFS Rule4 Section 25 ART.1) When you, as an official, see Shaq & Spud Web obtaining equal control of the ball you had better be pretty quick on the whistle. On the other hand let equal "Titans" have an opportunity to play through. You have to adjust to this situation just as you do any other area that may create rough play.

Great point Ridge. No matter what level you ref, be aware of size mismatches on ball tie-ups. We have some strong players on our team who have found themselves tied up by far smaller players. When the ref is slow with the whistle, the smaller player goes flying (when they hold tightly to the ball). For some reason, our small players seem to be able to hold their own!? I have felt that most times the player went flying because the whistle was delayed too much.

To address the first part of your post, it's not palming/carrying just because the ball was dribbled high. Although a couple of weeks ago, I did have a fan tell me that it's palming anytime the ball is bounced higher than the shoulder.
With regards to traveling and dribbling, you cannot travel during a dribble. It's a basketball fundamental. It doesn't matter how many steps you take between dribbles.

I also hate the loose ball mad scramble for the ball. I think I tend to call a jump to quickly but when I see A1 with the ball and B1 cleanly get his / her hands on it so that they almost both have it...I go with the whistle and a jump before it gets nutty. I'm probably wrong but then most of my sitchs involving a tied up ball this season has been 3rd - 8th grade...and of course mostly girls. Something about girls basketball that coaches overcoach tying the ball up or just that girls hang it out there to get tied up. Traveling...I struggle with the carry too. Pivot foot changes or extra steps are easy. The Carry for me is also a toughie. Larks - Veteran In Training |

So the point is, many thanks for welcoming coaches onto this board, and maintaining such a high level of interchange. It's a great resource! (Even if it does get me into trouble!!)

rookie help
Here are a few tidbits of information from a veteran (10 yrs.) but learning everyday. One thing about the block charge call:it is important to establish the defenders position prior to the contact. Some vets call it officiating the defense. This applies off ball especially. You will have better success on the block/charge calls if you work hard on your off ball coverage. This will give you a better view of the play prior to the contact. Don't feel pressure to make a call just because of contact. If it isn't a major run-down of a player,and you don't know if the defensive player had position or not, don't just guess. I know you will take heat for not making a call, but it is better to make a no call than a guess. This also applies to the ball going out of bounds. If your partner can't help and you aren't sure, always go with the alternate possession. You will get more credibility from coaches than making something up. Obviously, they know that you didn't see the play when you looked to your partner for help so they will know if you made something up.
Keep the players "straight up"! |

I usually call that "Holding" and reserve the "Block" for lower body contact by the defender. Either way, we get to blow the whistle and put up our fist. mick |

Why would "recoiling arms" be necessary to draw a charge? Can you explain this a little better? Chuck |
