As I've mentioned before I still play competive basketball as well as officiate. Yesterday, my select team was playing an exhibition game against a local high school varsity team. I first got on the court about midway through the first quarter and almost immediately the ball went out of bounds on the baseline in our end. After the official handed me the ball out of bounds the player that was guarding me moved right up on the line and was waving his hands in a such a way that I couldn't get a good angle on a pass. So, to improve my angle I took about 3 steps directly backward and then a little shuffle to the side. I know that both feet were still easily within the 3 ft. area. I had moved maybe 6 in. to the side at the most. As you've probably guessed by now the administering official called me for travelling. I looked at him in shock and he said "You're only allowed one step." My coach hauled me off and gave me a lecture about stupid turnovers.
Thanks |

You can go back as far as you want (or are physically able). The Designated spot is indefintely deep. I'd say you had a poor official that needs to review the rules. I'll also say that I think I worked with that guy last week.

Don't be so judgmental

You will too. BTW, it's obvious that you're coach didn't know the rule either. Why didn't you point out how he should know the rules as well?

Hawk, you should know better. If you come here and criticize an official some of these guys will blast you. You are correct and it ticks me off when the vets don't know the rules. I was off Monday and Wednesday this week so I went and watched a couple of games my very good friend was working. I consider him a good example on the court and he has coached and been officiating now for 10+ years varsity and done some college. What I observed was an arrow mistake, arrow wasn't switched after OT toss, wrong team crosses halfcourt with ball,table buzzes and informs them, they give it back to the other team, understandable but wrong by rule. Next night, my buddy gives a girl a T in the first quarter for having an earring in, absolutely wrong, and how could they not have seen it in warmups. His partner gives a coach two T's within 2 seconds for a couple of inaudible comments, not cursing he said, his justification was the coach was down by 20 and "wanted to go". I doubt it. I am learning about presence and game management from them and teaching them about rules knowledge which they should already know.

You completely lost me here. What exactly happened? Z |

Ok, red gets jump in OT, jump ball with :48 left, arrow points to red, red inbounds ball crosses halfcourt. Table buzzes, tells officials the arrow was wrong. They give the ball back to white on the baseline. According to page 46 of the casebook under "Arrow mistake", this is the incorrect procedure. As I stated, it was understandable in the situation to me, but my point was they didn't know the rule.

He11, we've got NCAA D1 officials who are giving traveling signals on spot violations. Don't you think they should know better? Yet we had people taking up for them. I'm just saying that this is probably a young official that may be getting a few varsity games but obviously doesn't have it all down pat yet. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend clinics or participate in a forum such as this. It's okay if you don't agree but that's JMHO. [Edited by BktBallRef on Jan 24th, 2003 at 10:47 AM]
