Pre-Game
We all know how important "pregames" with our partners are during a basketball season, especially if we are working with someone new or that we are not familiar with. Last year I had a great pregame list to go through that was putout by NCAA. In looking through my stuff last night, it must have walked away over the summer. Anyone have the NCAA pregame checklist? I think they publish one in some manual/rule book but can't seem to stumble on it. Thanks ladies and gents

Two Person High School Pregame Conference ...
PREGAME CONFERENCE
Lead’s Primary Responsibilities Primary coverage area. Post play. Illegal screens at elbows Trail’s Primary Responsibilities Primary coverage area “works the arc”. Rebound coverage. Drives starting in primary. Last second shot, basket interference, goaltending. Bring subs in Stay in your primary, it must be obvious to come out of your primary. Seldom should have four eyes on the ball. If something is there that needs to be called, call it. We’re not going to have too many double whistles if we are doing this right. Keep in mind your boundary line responsibilities and last second shot responsibilities. Put the ball in play where it goes out of bounds or where the foul is. On double whistles, let’s both hold our preliminary signal and not give a block or player control signal. Make eye contact with each other. Give the call to whoever has the primary coverage, most often the lead official, unless you definitely have something different that happened first, in which case we’ll talk about it. For out-of-bounds help, let's get it right. Come together for a change if needed. If I have no idea and I look to you for help, just give a directional signal. No need to come to me. Just point. If you don't know, give me a jump ball signal. If I signal but I get it wrong then blow the whistle and come to me. Tell me what you saw and let me decide if I’m going to change it. On throwins, count five players each team, check the table, check the clock, good eye contact before putting ball in play. A hand up in the air by the off official means not ready. Be consistent with each other. Let’s try to remember what we’ve called earlier in the game, and what we haven’t called. Be consistent with what has already happened in the game. Communicate at sixth and ninth fouls. We don’t want to be surprised when it’s time to shoot the bonus. If we know that the next foul will result in bonus free throws, then we’ll be more likely to remember our shooter. Off official should help identifying free throw shooter. Check the clock after every whistle to make sure the clock stops properly. Check the clock every time it should start to make sure it does so. Near the end of the game, be aware of coaches calling time-outs and be sure to inform them after they have used all their time outs. Let’s not put the whistles away in the last two minutes: That wouldn’t be consistent with the way we’ve been calling the game. We’re not calling anything in the last two minutes if we haven’t already called it earlier in the game, unless it’s so blatant that it can’t be ignored. If the game dictates it, let the players win or lose the game at the line. We don’t want to be the ones who decide the game by ignoring obvious fouls just to get the game over. If the winning team is just holding the ball and is willing to take the free throws after strategic fouls, then let’s call the foul immediately, so the ballhandler doesn't get hit harder to draw a whistle. Let’s make sure there is a play on the ball by the defense. If there’s no play on the ball, if the defense grabs the jersey, or pushes from behind, or bear hugs the offensive player, we should consider an intentional foul. These are not basketball plays and should be penalized as intentional. Discuss coaches personalities and how to manage them. Scorebook at 12:00. Coaches and captains meeting at 5:00: Players properly equipped, players wearing uniforms properly, practice good sportsmanship. NFHS BASKETBALL RULES CHANGES: During state championship series contests, game or replay officials are permitted to use a replay monitor to determine when a try for goal at the expiration of time in the fourth quarter or any overtime period (0:00 on the game clock) should be counted, and if so, determine if it is a two- or a three-point goal. When a red light behind the backboard or an LED light on the backboard is present, it is permitted to signal the expiration of time in the quarter/extra period. If no red/LED light is present, the audible timer’s signal will continue to signal the expiration of time. Clarified that the imaginary rectangle designates the area to be used for time-outs. A note was added to clarify when the 20-second interval begins to replace an injured player. Clarified that any item, in the referee’s judgment, that constitutes a safety concern is not permitted. Clarified that a player leaves a marked lane space when he or she contacts any part of the court outside the marked lane space (36 inches by 36 inches). Clarified that a player occupying a marked lane space must have one foot positioned near the outer edge of the free-throw lane line with the other foot positioned anywhere within the designated 36 inch lane space. NFHS POINTS OF EMPHASIS: 1. Traveling 2. Closely guarded 3. Three-seconds 4. Block/Charge 5. Free-throw administration CONNECTICUT MECHANICS: Point to floor for two-point field goal try when shooter has foot touching three point line. Team members are not allowed to congregate at midcourt during introductions. Officials will direct players to free throw line area in front of respective benches. Coaching Box must be marked. If home coach and/or home management refuse to designate coaching box with tape, the home team will not use a coaching box for that game. However, the visiting team will be allowed a coaching box. Notify Board Secretary, or Commissioner the next day. Captains-Head Coaches-Officials pre-game meeting should occur from 5 to 10 minutes prior to start of game. If the head coach refuses to attend the meeting, notify Board Secretary or Commissioner, who will notify the school Athletic Director and CIAC. IAABO MECHANICS CHANGES Verbalize “designated spot” for designated spot throwin. Always hand ball to player on frontcourt endline. Keep hand away from face when reporting foul to table. Switch on all fouls. |

Don't forget the three most important parts of any pregame checklist:
1. Zip fly 2. Take meds 3. Duct tape coach's mouths shut Not necessarily in that order. |

NCAA pregame
Try looking through the CCA manual if you have it. The pregame might be different from the Men's to the Women's manual because of style of play, but it should still be listed in section 4.7 of the book. I'll see what I can find tonight if I have anything saved or any else I know has it that will allow me to publish it.

BillyMac, thanks for posting that. I know it was not what the OP requested but it sure helps this newbie. :)

I don't remember Puff. But I remember Dick, Jane, and Spot.

Puff was the cat.
I remember: See Spot run. Run Spot, run. I can't remeber what Puff did. Probably just cough up hair balls. |
I have last year's NCAAW pregame in a PDF. It's too big to attach, but if you send me an email, I'll send you the file.

Did you just call him "DUDE?"
Must be a Gen Y thing... |

PS - Actually, I remembered Spot, and Dick and Jane, but, this is the only "Puff" I could think of! |

Actually I think the slang "dude" originated with Baby Boomers and their rock 'n' roll records that they listened to at a higher than required volume. The Dude abides. |
