referee testing ball for proper air pressure
#21. When the referee tests the ball for proper air pressure, the test shall be conducted on the playing court surface.
This has to be true, common sense would tell me that. The question is where can I find it in the book |

Look under Rule one, below the diagram of the authenticating mark.

Rule 1 is the driest of the 10 and I know that I tend to skim it. There are usually a handful of questions on the test pertaining to it, though.

And always bring a small pump and needle too....just in case!

You're kidding right? I do carry a needle, slips easily in the Fox 40 mouthpiece.
But a small pump? |

Nope, not kidding
I've never used the pump at a V game before. But sub-v, AAU, and rec ball......yep, used it several times. Fits neatly into my bag.

No, basketball is it.
Cool, I could see it being an inconvenience to bring to a varsity game. |

The inconvenience is if you can't find a good ball and no one has a needle or pump and you don't start the game on time. Worst case scenario, it takes me a minute to jog back to the locker room get the needle or pump and make adjustments.

A suggestion...
I happen to work VB and BK, and used to work FB. When you check air pressure as much as I do, it pays to spend some $$ and get a Molten Digital Air pressure gauge. It's darn expensive, but it makes the process of checking air pressure very, very easy, and it is small enough to keep in your jacket pocket.

I've always carried a needle to let air out but it's not my job to blow up balls. If I can't find a good ball from the home team, I go to the visitors. They all love to over-inflate 'em. They think it gives them a quicker bounce and are easier to dribble(and they are right). Teams have been over-inflating balls...oh...forever. |
