Need NFHS Rule Reference

[derwil]

This situation is specifically addressed in Rule 8 Article 2 (page 53). One of my pet peves is when refs don't blow their whistle on FT after TOs.

I guess I'm missing something. Please show me where it says to blow your whistle.

8-2

The free throw(s) awarded because of a personal foul shall be attempted by the offended player. If such player must withdraw because of an injury or disqualification, his/her substitute shall attempt the throw(s) unless no substitute is available, in which case any teammate may attempt the throw(s) as selected by the team captain or head coach.

I've never blown the whistle before a FT and also have never seen it done.

Apparently he was looking at 8-1-2, which deals with RPP.

"The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume...."

I can't imagine blowing a whistle at that point. I've never seen it done. Seems pointless to me.

I've seen it done, think it is awkward, and will only do it when I know I am in a situation/place where it is expected of me.

The NFHS Officials Manual says to sound the whistle prior to resuming play following a time-out in 2.4.3 D(4) & 3.4.3 D(4) on pages 39 & 76 (2-man and 3-man references, respectively). It doesn't specify to do this only when resuming with a throw-in. We all know that there are three ways of making a dead ball live: jump ball, throw-in, and free throw. Therefore, I sound my whistle prior to putting the ball into play no matter how it will be resumed following a time-out. It doesn't seem to be a big deal to me to step into the lane and give a quick tweet of the whistle before saying how many throws will be attempted, but I know that not everyone does it that way. However, since you asked, I do and it is in the manual.

I would do it if I wouldn't be the only one in my association doing it that way.

Everyone in my association blows the whistle prior to a FT, after a TO. And it is awkward. Some blow it before verbalizing and some blow it after verbalizing. Verbalizing being # of FT's to be attempted plus any other senseless ramblings they may want to include.

I must say I like it more now that I've reduced it even further. I used to say, "One, let it hit" or, "Two shots."

Now, I'm a numbers only guy. Much easier.

I started doing it in the last couple season. I noticed NCAA officials from this area doing it. Must admit I don't do it 100% of the time in HS games. But for some reason I always do it when free throws follow an interruption for an injury.

Assuming you meant 8-1-2, I don't know about you, but I don't use RPP every time we have a free throw.

I did put the ball down for a throwin the other day in a JVG game, but they released the throwin at about 4.

Yep 8-1-2. Thumb got in the way...Sorry for the confusion. I was written up on this point in by a state evaluator in Tennessee and have taken it to heart.

8-1-2 is resumption of play. If your state evaluator wants you to do it that way, fine. But 8-1-2 is not a valid reference to nail someone on this.

How about the citation that I pointed out in the NFHS Officials Manual?
