A Few Questions From a Rookie
First post - a little about myself:
I started officiating junior high this year after seven years of coaching - I had filled in from time to time over the years, but had never reffed seriously until now. After my coaching season was over this year (in December), found out I really missed basketball and took a liking to the other side of the ball. Plus, there's a serious shortage here so it was really easy to pick up some games. I did my last games last weekend, and ended up with about 16 under my belt when it was all said and done. I also umpire baseball in the summer. Question #1 - Ball inbounded in frontcourt, touches offensive players hand in frontcourt (no control), then rolls into backcourt. Player picks it up and I called over and back. My partner said it was an incorrect call because he never established control. Question #2 - What exactly is the ruling when the ball hits the top of the backboard on a shot? I always have thought it was still in play as long as it doesn't go behind the backboard, but have seen it called differently at different times. Question #3 - Inbounds situation. Defender touches the ball before it leaves the inbounder's hands. Never actually had this happen this season - just wondering. I've heard that it should result in a T? Is this correct? Thanks - |

Congrats on joining the ranks. You're needed. Now, go get your rules book and look up the answers to all of these and more! I'll be glad to give you the quick answers, but they are all pretty basic and I'd encourage you to really study.
#1 - your partner was correct. You need to learn what is required in order for a backcourt violation to be called. Look at both 4-4, which is the rule regarding ball location, and 9-9, which is the rule regarding the backcourt violation. #2 - The top of the backboard is inbounds. Read 7-1-2. #3 - Depends. I say that because it depends on whether the ball is outside or inside the vertical plane of the boundary line when touched. If outside the boundary, a technical foul. If inside, legal. Rules 7-6, 9-2 and 10-3-11. Good luck, and read a lot of this board. It has helped me tremendously. |

Because the spectators up top on the tracks in the YMCA's watching the game were leaning over and knocking shots away......also known as "fan goaltending". |

I had "over 4 hours" in the pool in how long before the "Date Night" picture would be posted.
I lost.
