Pregame running under the basket...
question from an referee colleague. .."Where is the rule concerning running under the opponents basket before the game" Is this a fed rule or could I be thinking of a state guideline...I'm thinking somewhere I remember reading about direct path to your side of court which could be interpreted as the above...I'm digging in the book right now but if anyone knows please point me in the right direction

Sorry for answering my own question...
Found it in our basketball manual that governs state play: 9. Assignment of each team’s bench and pre-game warm-up basket is to be predetermined by the tournament manager/committee and all teams notified in advance. The recommended procedure is to let the “home” team for each game sit on the bench which the host school utilizes during the regular season and conduct their pregame warm-up at the basket at the opposite end of the floor. Teams are to conduct pre-game and half-time warm-up on their half of the floor only. If jogging or running is part of their warm-up drills, then it is to be confined to their half of the court. Teams are to refrain from circling the entire floor when they enter the court to warm-up. Teams leaving their locker rooms and entering the court are to proceed to their warm-up end of the court by the most direct route and at no time are they to pass underneath their opponent’s basket. Officials are to enforce this once their jurisdiction begins by rule by assessing the head coach a technical foul. Tournament managers are to notify schools of this in advance and enforce it. 10. Participating teams are not permitted to warm-up at half-time of any games except the ones in which they are playing. |

I believe it is a State thing. In PA, no full court circle running is allowed. You are only allowed to run a circle around your own half of the court during warmup and halftime shooting. The other thing is during introductions, you are not allowed to gather around the center circle after introductions are done for your team. Fights have been known to break out during the race to the center circle. Most teams (as I've seen) now gather around the circle at the foul line.

This is the only limit we have here in Connecticut. It's from our high school athletics governing body:
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.

Then Show Me ...
Isn't "Show Me" some kind of law in Missouri?

Keith,
This ruling is not just for tournaments. It also applies to regular games. As mentioned by others, Missouri also wants the players to gather on their side of the court during introductions. No Midcourt gathering. |

This was addressed by NFHS in the Points of Emphasis in 2002-03 and also in 2003-04. I knew I had read this in a rules book before and dug through my pile of older books and found it.
From 2002-2003 NFHS Rules Book: 3. Sporting Behavior -- Pre-game Situations The committee discussed specific, inappropriate pre-game situations that must be stopped immediately. Coaches must demonstrate leadership by immediately putting an end to these practices. Officials must be prepared to stop these unsporting acts and penalize the offending team(s) if necessary. Teams are deliberately running through or disrupting the opponent's pre-game warm-up. Teams are also competing for the center circle when entering the court or following player introductions.
So regardless if your state did as advised, we are to be prepared to penalize these unsporting acts. Last edited by shishstripes; Sun Feb 07, 2010 at 05:26pm. |

Unilateral Decision ???

I'd be careful about unilaterally penalizing a team for running around the entire perimeter of the gym, or some similar pregame activity, without the backing of your state high school athletics governing body, especially since this NFHS Point of Emphasis is no longer in the current rulebook.
