What should be POE for next year?

[nwsquid]

Can you pretend I am a fairly green ref (1 year of experience, two different times), with only basic knowledge of the rules (cause I spent more time teaching recreation league kids where to lineup for free throws than thumbing a rule book), and expand on the backing around a player portion of your emphasis?

I propose a POE be put on calling fouls when players are going for a jump ball tie up, when one player clearly already controls it.

I noticed in a couple college games this week that the elbow chucking POE caused ref's to blow the whistle on contact quickly if a guy tried sticking his arms/hands in long after possession was secured from a rebound. (hard to explain, apologies for that)....yada yada yada...I thought that made sense.

Stop the issue of elbow throwing before it starts.

Traveling...........again. I agree with Bob Knight. Either call it or change the rule to fit what's happening. Tonight in the last 2 minutes of Louisville-UConn, I saw one that made me flinch. UConn guy caught the ball with his right foot on the floor, extended before putting the left foot on the floor, stepped toward the basket with the right, then lifted the left before releasing the dribble.

The only problem with that is Bobby Knight doesn't know what traveling is.

As in there are too many crashes with no whistles or that the block/charges aren't being officiated correctly?

There are a lot that aren't called correctly. I know several people just in my association that has called as many charges in 5 years as they've called T's(can count those on one hand).

You have a problem with your training of officials, not the rules. If you change the rule, you might still have the exact same problem.

Had this last season in a game while being observed by one of our best officials. As the new lead, this fast break "train wreck" happened so fast that I got "straight lined" for a split second and didn't get a good look to make the correct call, so rather than guess, I passed on it. My partner, as the new trail, was way too far back in the backcourt to offer me any help. The observer told me that, as the new lead, I just had to make a call here, and if I had to, to just guess.

Comments from esteemed members?

Player in middle position pivots behind player in bottom block to gain rebounding position, while the ball is in flight on a free throw attempt. I am seeing this more and more in HS ball.
