Player Control and Team Control fouls

I'm a rookie ref who recently worked a JV game with an experienced ref who is coming back to bball after a 10 year hiatus.

At a recent game my partner called quite a few charges and illegal offensive screens. He called for free throws, which I administered. The coach was questioning my partner during the game.

The next day, and experienced ref who happened to be watching the game called me and said the penalty rule of player control and illegal offensive screens has changed, and foul shots should not have been taken.

Guidance?

Get into the rules book. Know the rules. Look up definitions, study case plays. Then you will know what is correct.

Now, how to deal with returning veteran who does not have an understanding of the rules? This is where you will find great advice and guidance.

This site is great but for something like this you need to get into the rules book like most have said before me. When I first started out and something happened in a game I worked and I wasn't sure if I was correct, I pulled out the rules book when I got home.

In your situation you should check the Rule 10 summary under penalties....
1. no free throws
b. for a player control or team control foul

Do it in the locker room, too.

And, not only will you (likely) learn the answer to the play that happened, you might stumble across the answer to some other question that's been rattling around in your brain.

And remember that there are other PC fouls than charging. Any foul committed by the player with the ball is PC, This can include pushing (such as "backing down" the defender), illegal use of hands (such as controlling the defender's hand -- holding or pushing it), or holding (the "hook" move).

And there are other TC fouls than the illegal screen. Any foul committed by a player on the team in control of the ball is a TC foul, such as holding, illegal use of hands (the swim move), or pushing.

I'm sure you already know this, but it's important to keep all these terms in your consciousness during a game. It makes it easier to explain what you called when the coach asks nicely.

My face is too busy doing this when a coach asks something nicely.

Juulie - you used "coach" and "nicely" in the same sentence. Aren't you feeling well?

Any common foul. . .

I know it's a little thing, but intentional and flagrant fouls can be committed by the player with the ball; these are not player control fouls.
