RULING: In both (a) and (b), an official stops play by sounding his/her whistle when the try for goal is released by the B player (player/team control ends on the release for a try). In (a), the successful try by B4 is not scored and play is resumed using the alternating-possession procedure. In (b), play is resumed with a throw-in to Team A anywhere along the end line. (5-8-2 Note)

Why? Seems to me you could be giving Team A a free shot. If you are going to do this why not just kill it as soon as B1 gets the rebound?

I would like to see their rationale as to why they want it sounded after the try is released. What's another second for a player to get a rebound or see if the try is successful?

If one team requests a 60-second time-out and the other a 30, the duration shall be 60 seconds. Once a time-out is requested and granted, it shall not be revoked. (5-8-3b)

Exact, huh? That's all I need to know.

Tanner, the FED is giving us direction on how to handle these injury plays in R5-8-2NOTE. Been in there forever and hasn't changed.

1) If you think the injury is serious, kill the play immediately.
2) If not, wait to kill the play when the opponents "complete a play". And that NOTE tells you when a play is completed, by rule. It states that a play is completed when a team loses control. And a team loses control as soon as a shot leaves the shooter's hands.

Rules rulz...and we just follow 'em. And if you don't, and you let a team score a rebound basket when you should have killed the play, and you're maybe in a situation where you're being evaluated or that basket could make a difference in the game, you could find yourself lip-deep in doo-doo.

This will be fun to explain. I'm envisioning a 2 on 1 break B1 makes a beautiful pass to B2 who proceeds to miss the lay up. And B1 one follows up with a nice tip in (or quick put back) which we have to wave off b/c the ball became dead after the initial miss....
This will then lead to waiting for A1 to get cleared from the floor, followed by 2 FT's for Team A and the ball out of bounds for team A while A coach is now "seatbelted"

Who cares? Seriously? We're given explicit written direction by the rulesmakers on how to handle this particular situation. If a coach complains, you simply tell them that's the rule. It's no different than any other call in that regard. We can't control what happens next after any of our calls either. If the coach wants to throw a rang, hey, what comes out of it is now on him.

An official will never get himself into trouble by following a plainly-written rule. And as I said above, if we ever allowed the follow-up to count if it meant something or while we're being evaluated, your career might go on hold for a while.

JMO...and yes, I saw your smiley. Just wanted to make a point.

You may be thinking of the NCAA rule. The "rule" is exactly the same; however, the definition of when a play is "completed" includes an immediate rebound and put-back.
