NBA ref motion

Last nights game with about 50 seconds to play the refs were hitting their arms above their heads. Two minutes one got patted the top of his head. Maybe timing but it was under a minute for the last one and after the first guy did it, the trail, then the center did it. Weird, and the refs by doing it seemed momentarily distracted from the game.

Also, screw the NBA with not putting limits on ads. 20 seconds timeouts do not exist. They are either two or 3 minute ad breaks. Took about 15 minutes to play 1 minute. So bye bye natl tv games and all the ads.

Well most guys don't do it above their head, they usually do it at belt level but it means that there is one foul to give on that end of the floor.

The standard NBA mechanic is:

-with one minute left to go in the first, second and third quarter, the officials tap the top of the head (looks similar to shot clock violation signal) Tells the crew that one minute left (clock stops after made baskets etc)

-with two minutes left to go in the game (can throw ball to backcourt on front court, throw-in, time outs can advance ball, clock stops, watch for away from play fouls)

NBA rules are different, timeouts are not sixty seconds. Mandatory time outs are 100 seconds long. Time between periods are 130 seconds long. Twnety second could be changed to a full or actually force a mandatory if the team knows the rule the rules specifically require "There must be two 100-second timeouts in the first and third periods and three 100-
second timeouts in the second and fourth periods"

I'd venture to say that the most NBA time outs are pretty close...
