I am compelled to respond to Juulie's comments.
I used to be a semi-active participant in the forum. Like Juulie, I grew tired of the mean-spiritedness of many of the posts so decided to quit participating. No big loss. Heck, I'm not even a referee. But, I will say, I used to tell referee friends about this website. Not anymore. I'm afraid they'd be treated like so many others have been. |

I've only been involved in the Forum for a few yrs, but I certainly understand the recent comments as above. For me, the good threads, rules interpretations, advice and comments far outweigh the bad. While I'll occasionally try to inject some sarcasm or humor, I just choose to take the bad with the good and not participate in the negative banter - I just ignore it as best I can. It would truly be sad though if we didn't get rookies/newbies referred to the site or have others who stumbled upon the site, not use it because they were intimidated, bullied, or insulted. JMO |

The purpose of this forum is to teach people about officiating, and that has to include everything, not just the fine points of the rules. If a person can't take the disagreement and some name-calling on an internet discussion forum, how is he going to handle it during a live game? It is an unfortunate aspect of officiating that one either learns to deal with or one quits because of it. In fact, several studies have shown that the primary reason that newer officials quit is abuse from fans and coaches. So what difference does it make if someone learns that officiating isn't for him from here or on the court? |

This rule and case book play is the result of our discussions and would apply today. 9-2-2 The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bounds so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched. 9.2.2 SITUATION C: A1 scores a basket. After the ball goes through the net, B1 grabs it and makes a move toward the end line as though preparing to make a throw-in. However, B1 never legally steps out of bounds, both feet remain inbounds. B1 immediately passes the ball up the court to a fast-breaking teammate, who scores a basket. RULING: Cancel Team B's goal, throw-in violation on B1. The ball was at B1's disposal after the made basket to make a throw-in. B1 must be out of bounds to make a legal throw-in. (7-4-3; 7-5-7) |
